JOS — The Plateau State House of Assembly has declared its readiness to provide legislative backing for the establishment of state police, assuring that the proposed bill will receive priority attention once formally presented.
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Naanlong Daniel, gave the assurance on Thursday in Jos during an advocacy visit by the Plateau State Advisory Committee on State Police, led by retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Habila Joshak.
Daniel said the Assembly believes state policing will play a significant role in addressing the prolonged insecurity affecting parts of Plateau State and other regions of the country.
According to him, lawmakers in the state have consistently advocated the establishment of state police and remain committed to supporting reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture.
