The Senate has stated that it will complete the amendment of the 1999 Constitution to allow the creation of state police before the end of 2026.

The Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, who disclosed this while sharing with newsmen said the upper chamber would immediately resume work on the constitutional review once plenary reconvenes next week.

Pledging the Senate’s readiness to fast-track the amendment of the constitution to accommodate state police, Adaramodu noted that significant groundwork had already been done on the proposal before legislative focus shifted to the electoral amendment.

He assured Nigerians that the National Assembly would treat the amendment with urgency and conclude the process before political campaigns begin ahead of the next general election.

This is coming on the heels of President Bola Tinubu’s request to the National Assembly to begin the process of amending the constitution to incorporate state police as part of efforts to tackle the nation’s insecurity challenges.
