The failure of the Federal Capital Territory Administration under Nyesom Wike to submit its recommendations regarding state police has again stalled resolutions that would culminate in its formation.
At the National Economic Council NEC meeting chaired by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima on Thursday, 36 states submitted their recommendations with a majority of the governors in favour of the creation of state police . The endorsement came through the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani while briefing state house correspondents. He revealed that at the next NEC meeting to be convened in January 2025, a definite position would be adopted.
'But today, the council decided to step down the discussion until the next council meeting, because we need to come up with a report from the secretariat. After the report, there will be deliberation at the next NEC meeting which is likely taking place in January. Not only that, there's also a resolution in the last NEC meeting, which today the Secretariate have also agreed on that there will be further stakeholder engagement after the panel and deliberation by the members of the NEC.
