The National Economic Council (NEC) has given all states until September 9, 2024, to make their positions known on the establishment of State Police.
NEC gave the deadline on Wednesday at its meeting chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Briefing State House Correspondents shortly after the meeting held at the Council Chamber of the State House Abuja, the Acting Governor of Oyo State, Bayo Lawal, said out of the 36 states, 4 states were yet to make submissions to NEC on their stands.
According to Lawal, NEC directed that the four states must make their stance on the issue known by Monday.
While the four states were not mentioned during the briefing, NEC insisted that after Monday, any states which failed to make submission would have no option than to accept whatever decision is reached eventually.
