Oyo State Assembly Approves Bill for State Police Services
On September 30, the Oyo State House of Assembly passed a constitutional amendment bill for the establishment of State Police Services, marking a significant step in reforming Nigeria's policing structure. The bill was approved during a plenary session presided over by House Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, after the Assembly constituted itself into a Committee of the Whole to review the provisions clause by clause.
This legislative action follows the transmission of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Sixth Alteration) Bill, 2026, from the National Assembly to the 36 state Houses of Assembly for consideration and approval. The proposed amendment aims to create a legal framework for State Police Services across Nigeria, joining Oyo with states like Rivers and Osun that have also supported this initiative.
