Insecurity: Gov Mutfwang inaugurates committee on State Police 

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, has launched a 14-member State Advisory Committee on State Police to strengthen the state’s security framework.

This move follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s call for reforms to enhance effective policing nationwide.

The committee, led by DIG Habila Joshak (Rtd), will review the concept of State Police within Nigeria’s federal structure and provide recommendations for national policy deliberations.

“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,” Mutfwang said.

The committee comprises security experts, scholars, and public policy practitioners, including Brig. Gen. Gakji Shipi (Rtd), AIG Bashir Makama (Rtd), and Prof. Jamila Nasir.

Their tasks include examining constitutional and legal frameworks, reviewing national policy proposals, and assessing security challenges facing Plateau State.

DIG Habila Joshak (Rtd) assured the committee will discharge its mandate diligently, saying, “We appreciate the Governor’s confidence in us and will work in the interest of peace, security, and sustainable development in Plateau State”.
