The Plateau State House of Assembly has declared its readiness to provide legislative backing for the creation of state police, saying the bill will be treated as a priority once formally presented.
Speaker of the House, Naanlong Daniel, gave the assurance in Jos on Thursday during an advocacy visit by the Plateau State Advisory Committee on State Police led by retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, DIG Habila Joshak.
“The Assembly believes state policing will contribute significantly to ending the prolonged insecurity affecting parts of Plateau State and other regions of the country,” Daniel said.
He stressed that lawmakers have long supported the idea.
