Rivers State Assembly Approves Bill for State Policing
The Rivers State House of Assembly has officially endorsed the constitutional amendment required to create state policing in Nigeria. This decision comes in response to the National Assembly's transmission of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Sixth Alteration) Bill, 2026, to all 36 state Houses of Assembly for their review and approval.
The approval marks a significant step towards the establishment of state policing, which has been a topic of discussion in the context of enhancing security measures across the country. Further details regarding the implications and next steps following this endorsement are expected to be released later.
