NGFormer military leaders, politicians, and security experts in Nigeria have advocated for the creation of state police forces, increased funding for security agencies, and broader reforms to combat the nation's escalating insecurity. These calls were made during the First Daily Sixth Anniversary National Dialogue on Security in Abuja, which emphasized the need for more robust internal security institutions, improved intelligence collection, and greater collaboration between federal and state authorities. The event took place amid efforts by the National Assembly to amend the constitution and establish state police services. Former Chief of Defence Staff Lucky Irabor stressed the importance of translating declarations of a 'state of emergency' on security into actionable measures, including boosting funding for the military and developing Nigeria's military-industrial complex. The proposed reforms aim to introduce a dual policing system, with state police working alongside the Federal Police Service.
