Last week, a cabin crew member tried to enforce the new power bank rules with a passenger. He almost chewed her head off with "Only in Nigeria". I needed to wade in before he calmed down.
STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
STATE POLICE CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK NEAR COMPLETION- PRESIDENCY
Significant progress has been made towards establishing state police, with a constitutional amendment expected soon, following months of consultations among the Executive, the National Assembly and security authorities.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this on Thursday while briefing State House Correspondents after a consultative meeting on state police convened by the Presidency, held at the State House, Abuja.
Gbajabiamila said deliberations on the proposed state police framework began several months ago following a directive by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that the process has gained considerable traction.
He explained that establishing state police requires careful consideration of constitutional and legal issues and cannot be implemented hastily.
"We started deliberations in the last three or four months on how to go about the establishment of state police as directed by Mr President.
"Establishing state police is not something that you do with the snap of the fingers. There is a lot involved in terms of constitution and legalities, and thank God we have now gained a lot of traction.
“Hopefully, the amendment will come shortly, and the details of the amendment will come after that," Gbajabiamila added.
According to him, discussions have now advanced to the point of considering the necessary constitutional amendments, with the enabling legislation to follow afterwards.
"Right now, what we are looking at is the constitutional amendment itself, and then the enabling law would follow thereafter. That is what we have been deliberating on in the last couple of hours," he added.
The Chief of Staff highlighted broad national support for the initiative, emphasising that the debate is no longer about whether state police should be establishedbut about creating the appropriate legal and institutional framework for its operation.
He said President Tinubu, who has consistently advocated for state police as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture, would receive a comprehensive report on the meeting's outcome.
The meeting is part of a series of consultations convened by the Federal Government to develop a workable framework for the establishment of state police, an initiative aimed at strengthening internal security, improving local intelligence gathering and enhancing the capacity of sub-national governments to address emerging security challenges across the country.
President Tinubu has maintained in the last few months that state police is a necessary response to Nigeria's evolving security challenges, advocating that a decentralised policing structure would strengthen grassroots security, enhance intelligence gathering and improve the protection of lives and property across the country.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu and the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, among other senior government officials.

The only reason why this Billy goat can even post is because some people are laying down their life in service to this nation. Someone needs to hold this omo oshi.
I am proud to present this animated NCAA Consumer Protection mini-series developed by @Alexcassy for the Authority. It features the DGCA, Capt. Chris Najomo (@NajomoOna), and it is refreshing.
EPISODE 5 — SPEED VERSUS STRATEGY
"Moving fast is important but Moving in the right direction is essential."
In Episode 5 of the Innovation Series with Dr. K. K. Raji, Director General and CEO of the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI), we examine one of the most critical challenges facing entrepreneurs and innovators today: balancing speed with strategy.
In a rapidly evolving world, there is constant pressure to launch quickly, scale aggressively, and stay ahead of competitors. While speed can create opportunities, moving too fast without proper planning can lead to costly mistakes, wasted resources, and missed opportunities.
The most successful innovators understand that sustainable growth is not driven by speed alone—it is achieved through a combination of urgency, vision, and strategic execution.
In this episode, we explore:
• Knowing when to move quickly and when to pause for careful analysis.*
• The role of strategic planning in innovation and business growth.*
• Managing risks while pursuing new opportunities.*
• Building systems and structures that support long-term success.
• Making informed decisions based on data, evidence, and market realities rather than external pressure.
Dr. K. K. Raji shares practical insights on how innovators can avoid the trap of rushing into the market unprepared and instead build ventures that are resilient, scalable, and competitive.
At NBTI, we encourage innovators to combine bold action with smart strategy—because innovation is not a race to be first; it is a journey to create lasting value and meaningful impact.
Watch. Learn. Plan. Execute.
