Plateau Assembly passes state police bill, advancing Nigeria's decentralized security framework

The Plateau State House of Assembly has approved a bill to establish state police services, a constitutional amendment that would create sub-national police forces alongside the Nigeria Police Force. This is part of a broader national debate on security decentralization, but its passage is a legislative step, not yet a constitutional change. The move signals growing state-level pressure for security autonomy amid persistent insecurity in central Nigeria.
