The Kwara State House of Assembly has approved a constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police forces across Nigeria. The decision, made during Tuesday’s plenary session, followed a letter from the Clerk of the National Assembly regarding the proposed alteration to the 1999 Constitution. Speaker Yakubu Danladi-Salihu oversaw the approval, paving the way for a legal framework for state-level policing. This development marks a significant step towards decentralizing security structures within Nigeria. The approved amendment aims to allow each state, including Kwara State, to establish and manage its own police force. Further details regarding the implementation of the bill are expected to follow as the process moves forward at the national level. The move is anticipated to address varied security challenges across the country.
