State Police: National Policing Bill to be presented to Tinubu September 3 — Gbajabiamila
The Presidential Working Group on the National Policing Bill has announced that the proposed Executive Bill for the implementation of state police will be presented to President Bola Tinubu on September 3, 2026.
The disclosure was made on Monday by the Chairman of the Working Group and Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, after the committee’s inaugural meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The working group was inaugurated by President Tinubu in July to develop the legal framework for establishing state police across Nigeria.
Gbajabiamila explained that after the bill is submitted to the President and receives his approval, the government will conduct a nationwide consultation on the draft before forwarding it to the National Assembly.
He also invited Nigerians and relevant stakeholders to submit memoranda, position papers and practical proposals to enrich the proposed legislation.
According to him, the consultation process will enable citizens to examine and contribute to the bill’s provisions, including safeguards, funding mechanisms and transition arrangements.
“The approved work programme is a seven-week, milestone-driven exercise running from July 27 to September 14, 2026.
“The resulting Executive Bill package is scheduled for presentation to the President on September 3.
“Subject to his approval, a national consultation on the completed draft will follow, after which the text and supporting materials will be revised and prepared for formal transmission to the National Assembly.
“The timetable is demanding, but it is not a shortcut,” Gbajabiamila said.
The proposed National Policing Bill is expected to provide the legal and operational framework for the implementation of state police, covering issues such as administration, funding, recruitment, oversight, accountability and coordination between federal and state policing institutions.
