President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill to develop the legal framework for the implementation of state police across Nigeria.
The inauguration, held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, was performed on the President’s behalf by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
According to a statement by the President’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the committee was constituted following the National Assembly’s passage of the Constitution Alteration (State Police) Bill, 2026.
The proposed legislation seeks to establish a dual policing structure comprising the Federal Police Service and 36 State Police Services, aimed at strengthening security and improving law enforcement across the country.
