The speaker said locals who will be recruited into the police understand their areas better and know who the criminals are.
The Speaker, Bauchi State House of Assembly, Sulaiman Abubakar, has said the reason State Houses of Assembly across the country are insisting on the creation of state police is that it will help minimise insecurity.
The Chairman of the Conference of State House of Assembly Speakers in Nigeria, Mr Abubakar said the conference was convinced of the importance of having state police, hence its inclusion in the proposed constitutional review. ”Take the issue of state police, for instance, we are supporting it because we believe it can help minimise the activities of terrorists. Take for instance in Zamfara State, don’t you think it would complement the efforts being made by the existing security agencies like the policemen and the army? Look at the successes being recorded by the Civilian Joint Taskforce in the“They collaborate with and support the conventional security agencies.
He said he was surprised that the National Assembly committees deleted four of the items the state assemblies proposed.

Gov Abiodun and FG industrial revolution awardRECENTLY, in recognition of his efforts to ensure rapid industrialisation, enhance the ease of doing business and make Ogun State Nigeria’s top investment destination, the Federal Government honoured the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, with the Distinguished Award for Industrial Revolution.
