*** Back National Nutrition Bill and Agriculture; reiterate commitment to ongoing power sector reforms
By Henry Umoru, Abuja
The thirty-six state governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, have again thrown their weight behind the immediate establishment of state police in the country, as they would push for such a structure that will be constitutionally sound and aligned with federalism and citizens’ rights.
Rising from its 2nd meeting in Abuja from Wednesday to early yesterday, the governors, in a communiqué signed by NGF Chairman and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, disclosed that they received a presentation from the forum’s secretariat and a delegation of the honourable attorneys-general of the states on efforts to support establishing state police in Nigeria.
