National Executive Council ( NEC ) Endorses State Police, Submits Reports
In a significant development, the National Executive Council (NEC) comprising 36 governors has endorsed the establishment of state police. This move is aimed at strengthening security and addressing the unique challenges faced by each state.
The NEC, which is the highest decision-making body at the state level, submitted its reports to the federal government, outlining the need for state police. This development is seen as a crucial step towards decentralizing policing powers and addressing the security concerns of individual states.
The endorsement of state police by the NEC is a significant milestone in the ongoing debate about policing reforms in the country. Proponents of state police argue that it will enable states to respond more effectively to local security challenges, while opponents raise concerns about the potential for abuse of power and the need for robust safeguards.
The NEC’s reports are expected to provide valuable insights into the feasibility and implementation of state police. The federal government will now review the reports and consult with relevant stakeholders before making a final decision.
