But if it's about to borrow money for Tinubu it would have been fast

That university will only breed thuggery and touts, and also turn Nigeria to a war zone.

Why is it that the public is yet to see any of the state policing bill either by the NA or the executive?
Why so much secrecy with a bill that will most likely impact the lives of an average Nigerian?

Laple0541:
Irrespective of who make the proposal, all we want is a well secured Nigeria against Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen and IPOB terrorists.

This is the expectation of Nigerians.

Tinubu's version can't be trusted.
He must have inserted some hidden clauses against the state and the system.
I urge for serious scrutiny

incogni2o:
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

N50K grant for akara, kwuli-kwuli, and corn roasting dey sweet you wella. Enjoy bros.

Is useless tinibu bigger than Nigerians??

Classicals:
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.

even a blind person will see the difference between LNSC and the Nigerian police in terms of discipline and operation.state police can be worst for one state and be an effective in another state depends on the governor and its people

**State Police Bills Changes explained.**

**What just happened (Tue 14 July 2026)**
- The House of Reps binned its own state police bill and adopted Tinubu's version instead.
- Not a U-turn on state police itself — just switching to the President's text.

**THE OLD BILL (House's own version)**
- Written by lawmakers themselves (Deputy Speaker Kalu + 14 others), started 2024.
- Passed by the House on 11 June 2026 (289 for, 4 against).
- Core idea: scrap the single national police monopoly → allow all 36 states to run their own police alongside a Federal Police.
- Moved policing from the "exclusive" list (federal only) to the "concurrent" list (states can legislate too).
- Governors appoint their state's Commissioner of Police, confirmed by the State Assembly.
- **Problems with it:**
- The Senate passed a *different* text (Tinubu's), so the two didn't match.
- No transitional provisions — i.e. no roadmap for how you actually get from today's system to the new one (Senate's had 7).
- Clashing wording on key sections (e.g. Section 216 — House and Senate wrote completely different things).
- Would've needed a painful "harmonisation" committee to merge the two versions.


**THE NEW BILL (Tinubu's Executive version — the one now going forward)**
- Same core idea: dual policing — Federal Police + 36 State Police Services.
- Same appointment basics: governor appoints the Commissioner, State Assembly confirms.
- **What it adds/changes:**
- **Job protection for Commissioners** — can't be sacked on a governor's whim; needs a fair hearing, National Police Council recommendation, AND two-thirds of the state legislature.
- **Anti-thug clauses** — state police expressly banned from arresting critics, detaining political opponents, or harassing people for opposing the government.
- **Governors kept on a leash** — can only give *written*, general policy directives; no verbal "go and arrest that man" orders.
- **Federal takeover limits** — Abuja can only step in if law and order totally collapses, the governor asks, or the state force stops functioning; must be declared within 48 hrs and can be challenged in court.
- **Readiness test** — no state police can launch until the State Assembly passes its own law AND meets national minimum standards; Federal Police keeps covering the state until then.
- **Transition roadmap included** — the missing piece from the House version.


**Why the swap, in one line:** Senate and House were holding two different scripts; adopting Tinubu's means everyone works from one text — faster route to the 24-of-36 state assemblies needed to ratify.

Its worth noting that this amendment only creates the *permission slip*. A separate National Policing Bill (committee inaugurated 7–8 July,chaired by Gbajabiamila) has to set the actual operating rules. Real state police on the ground will take years to implement, not months.

Of what benefits are this Law maker's to Nigerians, this people are the bigger problems in this country

Just say JAGABAN, the god of Politics and Infrastructure

Denalarian:
Governors like soludo will use it against his own people.. hes already doing it with his udogachi

. Negativity is an incurable disease. Kill it before it kills you

Efuaye:
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.

You will not be unfortunate in life

ThinkSmarter:
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.

....... expecially if the proposals from the Executive are of good benefits to the country, you said?
So the one from the Legislative was for the destruction of the country and not for benefits, right?
Have you seen the proposed bill from the legislative to compare with the one from executive to know which one would be of greater benefits to the masses before you support for their own to be thrown out while the executive stands?
Talking about synergy,why is it that it is always when the thing will be in favour of the Executive that synergy would be demanded?
Why did the Executive proposed another version of the same State Police Bill when they already knew that the same bill is ongoing in the National Assembly?
Why didn't you call for synergy then?
