The National Economic Council (NEC) has urged state governors yet to make submissions on the proposed state police to submit their report on or before Monday, September 9, 2024.
The deputy governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Lawal, disclosed this while briefing newsmen at the end of 144 NEC meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, September 4.
Lawal said: At today’s NEC meeting an update for the establishment of State Police was considered and this was as a result of security challenges that we have across the nation.
“North-East, North-West, North-Central, South-West, South-East, and South-South, so that we will have robust security in our nation.

“And for that purpose sometime in the past, NEC considered the establishment of a state police and asked states to make submissions for consideration.
“Today (Wednesday), all states were supposed to submit for consideration of the NEC. Incidentally, four states couldn’t submit.
“And for that purpose, NEC decided that all states must make their submission on or before Monday next week.
“Otherwise whatever decision NEC takes on the establishment of state police will be binding on those states that refuse to make submissions.
