Governors’ forum to decide on state police soon

Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Kayode Fayemi, has said the forum will soon make its decision on state police known to the public.

Fayemi, who gave the assurance after the monthly meeting of the forum, disclosed that it has resolved to set up a security committee at the National Economic Council (NEC) level and retain security, as a reoccurring item on its agenda in future.

“The forum has retained security as a growing concern and permanent issue on the agenda of our deliberations. State police is an issue that is of interest to citizens and governors as well.

“We will continue to review our decision on this and we will communicate our decision to you when we have definite position as a forum,” he said.
