₦airaland Forum

The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has submitted its input on the proposed state police framework to the Office of the National Security Adviser, with the document set to be forwarded to the National Assembly of Nigeria for legislative consideration.

The Chairman of the forum and Kwara State governor, Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq, disclosed this on Sunday during a meeting with Bola Tinubu at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.

AbdulRazaq explained that consultations on the establishment of state police are ongoing among security stakeholders under the leadership of the National Security Adviser, noting that governors have now formally contributed to the process.

“On the issue of state police, discussions are ongoing amongst various security organisations, led by the National Security Advisor, and the NGF has made its contribution. “That document will be taken to the National Assembly to see how we can have a legislative framework for state police,” the governor stated.

He reaffirmed the commitment of state governors to strengthening collaboration with security agencies to tackle insecurity, while also advancing infrastructure and improving citizens’ welfare.

“As governors, we commit to renew our collaboration with security forces to defeat terrorism steadily, expand infrastructure opportunities and improve outcomes of lives of our people,” AbdulRazaq said.

The NGF chairman also congratulated the President on his recent state visit to the United Kingdom, describing the trip as historic and impactful.

“We congratulate you on the successful state visit to the United Kingdom and the many successes, investment proposals achieved during the trip.

“While our nation has always enjoyed good relationship with the United Kingdom, the state visit, the first in 37 years, is bold and significant. It speaks to new leadership in Nigeria,” he stated.

He expressed optimism that agreements reached during the visit would deepen bilateral ties and yield economic benefits for Nigerians.

“We are confident that the bilateral agreements presently signed and the new approach on issues of shared interest will strengthen existing relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom and will bring more prosperity to our people,” he said.

AbdulRazaq further commended Tinubu’s implementation of the Renewed Hope agenda, saying it has inspired greater national participation.

“Your Excellency, we thank you for prosecuting the Renewed Hope agenda in a way that has made Nigerians proud more than ever before.

“Every Nigerian now has a stake in nation-building. We believe that this will translate to improved security in every part of our country,” he stated. He stressed the importance of collective responsibility in addressing security challenges nationwide.

“Together, we must see that breaches of security all over the country come to an end.” The governor also urged Nigerians, particularly leaders, to embrace values that promote unity and stability.

He said, “Together, we must see that breaches of security all over the country come to an end.” AbdulRazaq added.

“As you can see here today, we have about 25 governors who, at short notice, it’s a respect we have for you and the leadership you’re providing for the nation.” Also present at the meeting were Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, and other senior government officials.

Putindbutt:
These Governors are the most ridiculous bunch of jokers in the world right now. Apart from bragging about fat allocations, in other areas they're useless.

Sowore called Gov Otti a failure but some kids were angry and hitting themselves on the floor. Very few of these Governors are doing something a bit tangible in their states.

But we can't really blame them than the set of bitter people who ignore the incompetence of their state Governors but focus on Abuja all day every hour. Why won't they mismanage the fortunes of their states, especially when they now receive huge amount of allocations which ordinarily should help towards the demands of the people of their respective states.

The Presidency had been running after these Governors to submit reports on state police since 2024 yet they refused to comply. The Vice President gave a deadline, they failed the deadline too. I'm much disappointed in the Northern Governors whom you expect to be at the forefront of pushing the state police but they're so laid back at it.

The President signed electricity law since 2024, till now no Governor has started practical execution in their states, no state is generating power much less distributing it to the residents yet power has been decentralized constitutionally.

And you see people who are obsessed with Tinubu always crying and wailing about power in the country when they can call out the Governors of their states to provide them with power as being enshrined in the constitution. What are the fat allocations all about if you can't generate and distribute power in your state?.

In Agriculture, the scored zero. The Governors are the custodian of all the lands in the state. I haven't seen any of them with concrete agricultural programs promoting food sufficiency, partnering with higher institutions in their states to cultivate foods, granting subventions to farmers to plant and harvest foods for their respective state. Yet they collecting much money.

They left everything on the President alone.


Trash!!!

That's a very good development also they should mandate everyone to have at least 3 years military training or better still they should cancel NYSC and replace it with compulsory 2 years military training.

richiemcgold:
It is easier to establish state police now than before because we already have some state security outfits like Amotekun. They can serve as benchmark for a proper state police.
