Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has inaugurated a 14-member State Advisory Committee on State Police as part of efforts to strengthen the security architecture of the state.

This follows the directive of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to all states of the federation to commence processes of the establishment of state police.

Inaugurating the committee on Tuesday at the Government House in Jos, Governor Mutfwang explained that the committee is expected to undertake a comprehensive review of the concept of State Police within Nigeria’s federal structure and provide well-informed recommendations that will meaningfully contribute to ongoing national policy deliberations on the subject.

He emphasised that the committee’s work will help guide Plateau State in developing a pragmatic and workable framework that aligns with constitutional provisions, national security priorities, and the peculiar security realities of the state.

The committee comprises security experts, scholars, and public policy practitioners.

Responding on behalf of the committee, the Chairman, DIG Habila Joshak (Rtd), expressed appreciation to the governor for the confidence reposed in them and assured that the committee would discharge its mandate diligently in the interest of peace, security, and sustainable development in Plateau State.
