Onyibe Advocates for State Police Reform in Nigeria
Onyibe addressed the Federal Government's initiative to establish state police in Nigeria, noting that the National Assembly transmitted the bill on 16 September to states for their concurrence, as required by the Constitution. The bill includes 18 clauses from the House of Representatives and 26 from the Senate.
State legislators are expected to provide input based on grassroots needs. Onyibe's book, "The Imperative of State Police in Nigeria," unveiled on 10 September in Abuja, aims to sensitize Nigerians about the proposed decentralization of policing.
A panel discussion was held to explore the reform's details. Plans are in place to unveil the book across Nigeria's six regions to further engage the public.
The Federal Government has also established the Presidential Working Group on National Policing, led by Rt. Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, which includes experts in law enforcement and security.
