Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has called for comprehensive restructuring of Nigeria’s federal system, saying the debate on state police should extend beyond security to include fiscal and judicial reforms.
Mr Soludo made the call during a Town Hall Meeting in Awka on Thursday, where he described the growing support for state police as an inevitable step toward a more effective federal system.
He said the debate had moved beyond whether Nigeria should establish state police, stressing that attention should now focus on the modalities for implementing the initiative.
The governor said his administration’s experience in Anambra had shown the need for effective collaboration among federal, state and private security agencies.
He added that broader constitutional changes should complement security reforms.
