I disagree with you. Under proper legislation, there will be some issues that local govt police can handle and when it goes above them, it goes to the state police. There is what is called federal crime e.g murder, armed robbery and other felonious crimes which can only be handled by the federal police! we shall get there soon.
It is even much easier. Federal offences may cross state borders. Like if a criminal committed crime across at least two states. If the crime involves cover up by local police then Federal police come in.

Crime done online like fraud against foreign entities, espionage, treasonous offences, firearms offences. Etc, etc. Just like state high courts and magistrate courts can try murder cases generally, state police can also investigate certain murder cases.

How can the president approve state police without it going through the national assembly. I doubt the authenticity of this story.

Don’t mind all these uneducated Nigerians. State police is like restructuring, it can never pass in the National Assembly because it is not in the interest of the northern elite.

Great!
It'll definitely improve the security
Governors we now gain more power and have control over their state security.

But elections will become more bloody.
And governors will eventually have to use their security votes as opposed to sharing it among politicians

This is good development. The Federal Police have long been over stretched. However new measures will have to be put in place to check the excesses of State Police if such arises. A more professional Federal police will then be developed. They come in when the State Police fails especially on issues of National security.

PMB seems to be looking into the constitutional conference report done by the GEJ regime. This is the restructuring the ohanezes, afenifere have been shouting for, I hope they can swallow their pride and begin to commend PMB.

I knew PMB was up to something when NFIU brought out guidelines on LG allocation funds going directly to the local governments and I suspected that he was beginning to consider the confab report done before his first tenure.

It's left to all Nigerians to support this move if they truly love this country.

Yeah nice but this is not true federalism but its commendable
Re: Buhari Approves State, LG Police by FutureIG: 5:49pm On Jun 03, 2019
This is a poor report. Does the president has power to approve or establish police for states? It's absolutely no. State police can only be established by a constitutional amendment.

state police can not be easily handed down to the states and local government except they will just be there to gather information and still report to the federal police.

The conflict of interest will lead to war as there will be competition of who to man which check point.

some are more lucrative eg all Aba road, all onitsha road etc
Nothing is difficult. My opinion is Fed should still have overidding powers. Summarily there should be jurisdictions and type of cases state police should handle

There is nothing great about the news. The presidency is two faced. One day they approve, the other day they dissaprove, bunch of confused people. Am so sure they will counter the news very soon that that they are not aware.

I believe it is a constitutional issue that can't b "approved" without d NASS. because d constitution doesn't recognise state police. Saying d president has approved state police is wrong

If you're looking at that direction, federal police will man federal road while state takes charge of all state internal affairs. Also the federal serve as backup incase of unforseen security threats more like the Army

He is right. There is a police act which recognises d police as federal. 4u to have state police, d president just can't unilaterally "approve" state police. It has 2go thru d national assembly so that there will b laws 2 that effect. Right now d constitution doesn't recognise state police& d president isn't above d constitution 2 change a section of d constitution by "approval".
