House Withdraws Its Own State Police Bill, Considers Tinubu’s Proposal by Islie(op): 1:28pm On Jul 14
By Olugbenga Ige


The House of Representatives has withdrawn its proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police, opting instead to consider a similar bill transmitted by the Executive.

The development emerged during Tuesday’s plenary, where lawmakers gave the Executive-sponsored state police bill its first and second readings.

The bill was subsequently referred to the House Committee on Constitutional Review for further legislative action.

The decision effectively suspends the House’s earlier proposal as lawmakers shift attention to the Executive-backed amendment.

The Executive bill is expected to undergo detailed scrutiny at the committee stage, where lawmakers will examine its key provisions before it is returned to the floor for further consideration.

There is something about Thimudu.

Like he knows how to just focus on the poor, gullible and people with no Hope.

and He seems to know that majority of nigerians are that.

The rest can wail

Like many things in Nigeria. Talk will be extensive and more than action.

Don't be surprised if at the end of it getting effective, we notice very little improvement in the security infrastructure, especially the conduct of personnel.
We will just be doing long debates while seeing minor progress.

State governors don't need state police to oppress their political enemies; they're already doing that even with federal police.
Pass the bill and let's have it to continue modifying as we move forward.

To the commenters up there.
There's nothing bad if there's a good synergy between the arms of government.
Especially if the proposals from the Executive are of good benefits to the country.
It shouldn't be gbas gbos every time.

So a Bill by Bayo Onanuga or Gbajamilla shall now be better for Nigeria than the Bill proposed by hundreds of elected members of the National Assembly?

That's it. Election of head of state police is what should have been there if the fear of state gov appointing and misusing state police against their political foes is the problem.

an amendment suppose to come from the lawmakers and yes they can listen to the executive not accept everything but the way these modern lawmakers are going about lawmaking is weird and strange
