The Nation Newspaper Fed Govt: governors slowing down work on state police
States are slowing down the take-off of state police, the Federal Government said yesterday. Ad-hoc Committee on State Policing Initiative, Vice President Kashim Shettima observed that responses by some governors were not impressive.
The President and governors opted for state police following the increasing wave of insecurity – banditry, kidnappings, killings and other forms of violence – across the country.He said they believed state policing was capable of correcting existing fundamental flaws in the security framework. Reviewing the states’ responses, Shettima gave the remaining 20 states an ultimatum to speed up their action on the matter.A statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, said Shettima expressed dissatisfaction about the delay.
Also, the NEC Ad-hoc Committee on Crude Oil Theft Prevention and Control, headed by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, presented an abridged update on its assignment. It noted the need for states to commence preparations for the 2025 sub-national ranking for ease of doing business in Nigeria.
