Chief of Staff to the President and head of the Presidential Working Group, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced that the National Policing Bill will be forwarded to the National Assembly within two weeks. Speaking to journalists after a steering committee meeting, Gbajabiamila expressed that the bill is nearly ready for transmission, with only minor adjustments needed.
He stated, "The National Policing Bill is more or less ready for transmission to the National Assembly. We will probably have one more meeting after this to cross the t's and dot the i's and make sure every area is covered. So, we are 90% ready." The governors have expressed some concerns over the amendment, but Gbajabiamila believes there is a "national consensus" on the necessity of the changes.
The group, which includes the Chairman of the Governors' Forum, governors from various states, the Inspector General of Police, and the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, will continue to work on finalizing the bill in the coming weeks.
