#Governors

Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna State, stated that while State Governors can appoint police commissioners, they do not have the authority to dismiss them. He emphasized that the State Police would not be used as a political instrument by Governors, aiming to ensure its independence.

The Nigerian Senate has passed a significant Constitution Alteration Bill aimed at establishing state police, which will allow governors to appoint commissioners. This decision marks a crucial development in the ongoing debate over decentralizing the country's policing system to tackle increasing insecurity. The passage followed a detailed clause-by-clause review of the bill.
