The Presidency has announced a seven-week timeline for the completion of the proposed State Police Bill, with the executive draft expected to be submitted to President Bola Tinubu for review on September 3, 2026.
Femi Gbajabiamila, chairman of the Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill, disclosed the timeline on Monday, saying the committee is working to deliver the executive bill within the stipulated period.
The proposed legislation is expected to provide the legal framework for the establishment of state police across the country, a key component of ongoing efforts to reform Nigeria’s security architecture.
