The National Assembly has transmitted a 2026 Constitution alteration bill that seeks to establish state police forces to the 36 state Houses of Assembly, advancing the proposal to the next stage of the constitutional amendment process.
The bill was forwarded to the state legislatures on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, following its consideration and passage by the National Assembly.
According to the report, the bill will now be debated and voted on by each state legislature before it can be sent back to the National Assembly for final approval and ratification.
