Every large organization.organisation or institution should have its own police force. For instance the Obafemi Awolowo university used to have its own police always on patrol duty when I was there. The job of the police is mainly to force trouble makers to court among other tangential duties.

Why then is state and local government police creation an issue in Nigeria?. Everybody can have their own police and even their army divisions. If it is an issue then you don't have a country and that is why the country can be described as failed.

It's payment of salary that's the problem. How many state governors can afford to fund a standard police force ?

Set up the one you can afford. If a university can fund a police force but a state or local government can not, don't you think it is a shame?.
