The Nigerian Presidency says the constitutional process to establish state police is nearing completion. In recent statements covered by multiple outlets, the Presidency reports that months of consultations with key stakeholders have advanced the state police proposal and that a constitutional amendment is expected to move forward soon. One report says the amendment is close to completion, while another describes the framework as nearing completion, indicating that the constitutional work is at an advanced stage rather than newly starting. The outlets agree that the consultations are part of the process leading to the amendment and that the next steps are anticipated in the coming weeks. The Presidency frames the change as intended to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture, but the reports provided do not detail the amendment’s specific provisions, timelines beyond “coming weeks,” or any legislative status such as whether the draft has been submitted to lawmakers. Overall, the reporting presents a consistent picture: the executive branch says progress is substantial and that constitutional action to enable state police is expected soon following stakeholder engagement.
