Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has called for the
creation of State police.
Obasanjo said Nigeria needs state police to effectively
tackle the insecurity challenges in the country.
He made the call while delivering his speech at a lecture
titled, ‘Social responsibility in nation building,’ to mark the 78th
anniversary of Island Club in Lagos on Friday.
The former president said only a safe environment could
guarantee nation building.
According to Obasanjo: “I have said it before and I will say
it again. Nigeria should have state police in all the states so that they can
adequately tackle insecurity.
“Guaranteeing citizens a safe environment and round security
is one thing a government must do.
“No nation can be built where peace, security and stability
are not assured or guaranteed and with reasonable predictability of the
President and the future not enthroned.”
