Governor Dauda Lawal as a panellist at the Arise News Town Hall Summit: Building a National Consensus for State Police & National Security
Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has said that state police will go a long way toward tackling insecurity in the country by giving governors real authority as chief security officers of their states
He made these remarks as a panellist at the Arise News Town Hall Summit: Building a National Consensus for State Police & National Security, held today at the Thisday Dome in Abuja.
Governor Lawal observed that insecurity has persisted in the states because the command and control structure has not been under the chief executives of the states.
He said that when state governments are responsible for the security of lives and property within their domains, the police would be better equipped and have more personnel to tackle crime.
