Chairman of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, has disclosed that state police will only become operational across the 36 states of the federation after the conclusion of the ongoing constitutional amendments.
Speaking with newsmen on Monday after a meeting of the working group at the State House, Abuja, Gbajabiamila, who is the Chief of Staff to the president, explained that no state would be permitted to commence policing operations until it demonstrates readiness in recruitment, training, equipment, pensions, complaints handling, financial sustainability, firearms control and independent oversight.
