Nigeria’s National Assembly sent the 2026 constitutional amendment bill on state police to all 36 state Houses of Assembly. The proposal would create a constitutional route for state police alongside federal policing, with national minimum standards and oversight safeguards. At least 24 state assemblies must approve it under Section 9; lawmakers requested responses within 30 days, although Clerk Kamoru Ogunlana said that was an administrative timeframe rather than a constitutional deadline. The Senate passed the executive version on June 24, and the House followed on July 23 by 311 votes; the amendment is not yet law.
