Bago and Tompolo to Discuss State Police at Lecture

On October 6, 2026, a significant lecture organized by the Press Corps will feature discussions led by Bago, Tompolo, and others, including former Minority Leader of the House Ndudi Elumelu and Nnadubem Moghalu, the Secretary of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill. The theme of the 2026 Distinguished Parliamentarian Lecture is “The Imperative for State Police: Securing Communities, Strengthening Federalism.” This event is timely as it coincides with the ongoing consideration of the National Policing Bill by the 36 State Houses of Assembly, which seeks to establish State Police Services.

Abbas Tajudeen, the Speaker of the House, will serve as Chief Host and is expected to address the position of the 10th House on the state police. The event is anticipated to attract a diverse audience, including lawmakers, policymakers, security professionals, civil society organizations, academics, and development partners.
