Policing Bill 90% Ready For Transmission To NASS — Gbajabiamila

Gbajabiamila said the bill is 90% ready, with governors’ observations still to be cleared before transmission to lawmakers.

  • On Thursday, Presidential Working Group Chairman Femi Gbajabiamila announced the National Policing Bill is 90% ready for transmission to the National Assembly.
  • Deliberations since August 3 have refined the legislation, which Special Adviser Bayo Onanuga described as "the most consequential Bill of the administration so far."
  • Kwara Governor AbdulRazak AbdulRahman, Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun, Kaduna Governor Uba Sani, Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu, and Solicitor General Beatrice Jedy-Agba attended Thursday's meeting.
  • Transmission of the bill to the National Assembly is expected within two weeks, pending final reviews of governors' feedback.
  • Although only six of 36 states have passed the amendment to authorize state police forces, Gbajabiamila asserted a "national consensus" on the separate Sixth Constitution Alteration Bill.
