Tinubu’s state police plan generational reform — Kogi


The Kogi State Government has described President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to the establishment of state police as a generational reform capable of fundamentally transforming Nigeria’s security architecture.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, the government commended the President for reaffirming his administration’s resolve to decentralise policing during a high-level engagement with governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to the statement, the President stressed that state police has become imperative in confronting the country’s evolving security challenges, noting that decentralised law enforcement would enhance community-based responses, improve intelligence gathering and strengthen internal security across the federation.

The state government noted that the President’s position comes as the National Assembly continues deliberations on the constitutional and legislative frameworks required to establish state police, describing the move as a bold and strategic step towards long-term national stability.

It said the administration of Governor Ahmed Ododo fully aligns with the President’s vision and remains committed to supporting reforms that bring security closer to the grassroots.

The government stated that the state police initiative represents a decisive intervention capable of significantly dismantling insecurity in Nigeria.

He also commended Tinubu for his ongoing economic and financial sector reforms, describing the proposed decentralisation of policing as a natural progression of the administration’s broader national renewal agenda.

“As a government, we fully align with Mr President’s position and assure him, as well as the leadership of the National Assembly, of our readiness to cooperate with all relevant authorities to make state police a reality,” the statement said.

The state government maintained that sustained collaboration between federal and state authorities would not only address immediate threats but also lay the foundation for enduring peace, security and development across the country.

African Journalist Online had reported that Tinubu on Monday reiterated his firm commitment to establishing state police as a means of curbing incessant security threats in the country.

Consequently, the Kogi State House of Assembly has vowed to give the state police bill an accelerated hearing whenever it is brought before the House for consideration.
