Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has urged governors, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other governors, to support the proposal for the establishment of state police and implementation of local government autonomy.
Tinubu made the call at the 14th meeting of the APC National Caucus held in Abuja on Thursday, December 18.
He asked governors to back the judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy, reports Channels TV.
According to him, it is not enough that the court has passed the judgment; allocations for local government councils must reach them directly.
President Tinubu also called for greater inclusion of women in the APC National Caucus to ensure gender balance.
The calls for state police have grown louder amid rising security challenges in Nigeria.
