Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun says he is optimistic Nigeria’s 36 State Houses of Assembly will approve the constitutional amendment bill establishing state police at the same time. Speaking on a town hall programme on state policing hosted by Arise Television, Abiodun frames the proposed state police as a “landmark” measure intended to strengthen the country’s internal security architecture. He argues that coordinated passage by state lawmakers is achievable and would support the uniform implementation of the reform across states. The reports present Abiodun’s position as part of ongoing national discussion on state policing and the legislative process required to amend the constitution. Both outlets highlight his confidence in simultaneous consideration and approval by state assemblies, and his view that the initiative would help address security challenges. No figures, timelines, or details on the specific legislative steps in Ogun or other states are provided in the excerpts.
