Nigeria, a federation of 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with 774 LGAs, over 250 ethnic nationalities, more than 200 million citizens and a vast terrain spanning over 920,000 square kilometres, still sadly operates a single centralised police system that employs less than 400,000 police officers and men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no gainsaying that the nation\u2019s security architecture is under immense pressure and always overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the bill comprises 18 clauses that seek to alter sections 34, 35, 39, 42, 84, 89 and 129 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As Altered).<\/p>\n<p>The bill also seeks to alter sections 153, 197, 214, 215 and 216 of the Constitution, Chapter VI Part III, Second Schedule, Part Il of the Third Schedule and Part I of the Third Schedule of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong others, some of the key innovations of this proposed alteration include the transfer of \u2018Police\u2019 from the \u2018Exclusive Legislative List\u2019 to the \u2018Concurrent Legislative List\u2019, a move that effectively empowers states to have state-controlled policing; the introduction of a comprehensive framework to ensure cohesion as well as accountability and uniform standards between the federal police and state police,\u201d the legislator explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bill also seeks to alter sections 153, 197, 214, 215 and 216 of the Constitution, Chapter VI Part III, Second Schedule, Part Il of
