The House of Representatives will on Thursday vote on a constitutional amendment bill seeking to establish state police across Nigeria, a move widely seen as a major step toward decentralising the country’s security architecture amid worsening insecurity.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on Constitution Review, Benjamin Kalu, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
Kalu urged all lawmakers to attend Thursday’s plenary session and participate in the vote on the proposed constitutional amendment.
