Kogi State Government has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to establishing state police as a generational reform poised to transform Nigeria’s security architecture.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday from Lokoja, noting that the state government commended President Tinubu for reaffirming his administration’s determination to decentralise policing during a high-level meeting with governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The statement highlighted that President Tinubu stressed the urgency of state police in tackling Nigeria’s evolving security challenges. He noted that decentralised law enforcement would enhance community-based responses, improve intelligence gathering, and strengthen internal security nationwide.
Kogi State Government added, “The President’s position comes as the National Assembly continues deliberations on the constitutional and legislative frameworks required to establish State Police. This is a bold and strategic step toward long-term national stability.”

The statement emphasized that Governor Ahmed Ododo’s administration fully supports the president’s vision and remains committed to reforms that bring security closer to local communities.
It further noted that the state police initiative represents a decisive measure capable of significantly reducing insecurity in Nigeria. The government also commended President Tinubu for ongoing economic and financial sector reforms, describing the decentralisation of policing as a natural extension of the administration’s broader national renewal agenda.
“As a government, we fully align with Mr. President’s position and assure him, as well as the leadership of the National Assembly, of our readiness to cooperate with all relevant authorities to make State Police a reality,” the statement said.
Kogi State Government concluded that sustained collaboration between federal and state authorities will not only address immediate security threats but also lay the foundation for lasting peace, stability, and development across the country.
