NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TRANSMITS STATE POLICE BILL TO STATE ASSEMBLIES; TO RESPOND IN 30 DAYS

‎

‎The National Assembly has transmitted the Constitution Alteration Bill seeking establishment of State Police Services to the 36 State Houses of Assembly for consideration and approval.

‎

‎Clerk to the National Assembly, Kamoru Ogunlana, says the Bill was transmitted to the State Assemblies on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 with expectation for expeditious consideration of the bill within one month. 

‎

‎Although the Constitution does not specify a timeframe for the State Assemblies to respond, the National Assembly expects them to communicate their resolutions within 30 days of receiving the bill.

‎

‎The Clerk, however, clarified that the 30-day period is only an administrative timeframe and not a constitutional deadline.

‎

‎The National Assembly says it recognises the constitutional responsibility and independence of the State Houses of Assembly in considering the proposed amendments.

‎

‎Under constitutional provisions, a bill seeking to alter the Constitution must secure the approval of at least two-thirds of the 36 State Houses of Assembly before the process can be concluded.

‎

‎The State Police Bill was passed weeks earlier by both chambers of parliament, as a crucial step towards tackling security challenges in the country. 

‎

‎The National Assembly says it will proceed with the next steps once the resolutions of the State Assemblies are received, while reaffirming commitment to due process, institutional cooperation and strict compliance with the Constitution.
