A non-governmental organisation, iTeach Africa Initiative, has hailed the passage of the State Police Bill by the Senate, describing the legislation as a major step towards improving the safety of women and other vulnerable groups across the country.
The organisation said the proposed state policing framework has the potential to strengthen protection for women and girls, expand access to justice at the grassroots level, and ensure that security institutions become more responsive to the peculiar challenges faced by local communities.
