Plateau Governor Pushes for State Police | Nigeria News

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State is championing the creation of a state police force, arguing it’s essential to tackle Nigeria’s worsening security crisis through decentralized governance — a move he credits President Tinubu for enabling. While praising the current police for their work in Plateau, he insists safeguards must be built into the new system to prevent abuse and ensure accountability. To craft a truly effective framework, he’s calling for broad input from academics, experts, traditional leaders, and all 17 local government areas before finalizing laws. Meanwhile, security upgrades are underway: camera installations are starting, and new military units — including battalions and a brigade — are being deployed as the state prepares for permanent bases.
