The Director of Mobilisation and Enlightenment of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Olisa Metuh, has commended President Bola Tinubu for championing the proposed establishment of state police, describing it as a landmark achievement in Nigeria’s security reform.

Metuh was a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party before defecting to the ruling All Progressive Congress.

In a statement issued on Thursday, he said the passage of the State Police Bill marked a turning point in the country’s efforts to tackle worsening insecurity through a decentralised policing system.

According to him, the legislation represented one of the most significant accomplishments of the Tinubu administration.
