JUST IN: FCT, ADAMAWA, OTHERS GET ONE-WEEK ULTIMATUM TO SUBMIT STATE POLICE REPORTS
The Federal Capital Territory, Adamawa, Kwara, and Kebbi states were given a week by the National Economic Council on Thursday to present their opinions on the proposed establishment of a state police.
Following the 146th meeting of the National Economic Council at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja, Bayelsa State Governor Mr. Duoye Diri informed State House media, “The council mandated these remaining states and the FCT to make their submissions within the next week.”
According to Diri, among the 36 states, only the three states and the Federal Capital Territory have not yet done so.
He explained, “On the state police, the council was updated with the submission of the establishment and it was reported that 33 states have submitted their positions, while three states are yet to do so.
“These three states are Adamawa, Kebbi and incidentally Kwara, which is the state of the Governors’ Forum’s Chairman, and the FCT are yet to submit their positions.
“The council mandated these remaining states and the FCT to make their submissions within the next one week, and resolved to present a consolidated state’s position on the state police to the National Economic Council at our next meeting.”
