Governors Won’t Have Absolute Control of State Police — Gbajabiamila
Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has assured Nigerians that state governors will not have absolute control over state police under the proposed policing framework being considered by the government.
Speaking on efforts to establish state police, Gbajabiamila said adequate safeguards would be put in place to prevent abuse and ensure accountability.
He noted that concerns over the possible misuse of state police by governors for political purposes are being addressed through legal and institutional mechanisms that will guarantee oversight and operational independence.
According to him, the objective of the reform is to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture by enabling states to play a greater role in policing while maintaining necessary checks and balances.
Gbajabiamila said the proposed framework is designed to ensure that state police serve the interests of citizens and communities rather than political office holders.
He added that the initiative is aimed at improving public safety, enhancing local intelligence gathering and responding more effectively to security challenges across the country.
The push for state police has gained momentum in recent months as stakeholders continue discussions on decentralising policing and improving security management at the sub-national level.

People will come and go in your life. That’s how it is. Don’t worry about it. Don’t try to hang on to those who want to leave. The Almighty will put total strangers in your path to get you where you’re supposed to be. Trust Him.
Not everyone will want the best for you. That’s life. The same people who wanted you to rise may feel threatened by your success. Don’t be surprised if their cheers turn to boos. Some don’t like seeing others do better than them because it shows up their weakness.
Allah will never leave you empty. He will replace everything and everyone you lost. If He's made you drop something, He will make you pick up something better. No one can stand against Allah's plans. If something is meant for you, it will reach you. No matter what.
Nobody will truly understand what you’re going through except the Almighty. He’s the only One who knows your true circumstances and is always available when you need Him. He will heal you and make you whole again.
