?The Presidential Working Group is set to transmit the groundbreaking National Policing Bill to the National Assembly within two weeks, signaling a major leap forward in Nigeria's security architecture.
Announcing the progress after a steering committee meeting at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, Chief of Staff to the President and Chairman of the Working Group, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, revealed that the bill is 90 percent complete, with final adjustments being made following minor observations from state governors.
Described by Gbajabiamila as the most consequential legislation of the administration so far, the draft is the product of intensive deliberations since August 3, aligning with a broad national consensus on policing reform and state police constitutional amendments.
High-level attendees at the meeting included Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Governors' Forum AbdulRazak AbdulRahman, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun,
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu, and key representatives from the Ministry of Justice, the National Security Adviser, and the Nigerian Bar Association.
