Plateau Liaison Director Backs State Police
Plateau Liaison Director Backs State Police
Funmi Ogundare
The Liaison Director for MDAs and Security Agencies in Plateau State, Hon. Ziphion Chrysanthus, has stated that Nigeria’s centralised security system has failed to address the country’s growing and localised security challenges. He, therefore, stressed the need for the creation of state police.
Chrysanthus, in a statement issued yesterday, argued that rejecting state policing out of fear of abuse by governors is tantamount to denying Nigerians the prospect of safer communities.
His remarks came in response to the rejection of the idea of establishing state police forces by Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, who represents Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
“The claim that state police could be abused is an argument that serves the comfort of the elite, notinterestserest of the people. Security cannot be micromanaged from Abuja. It must be localised, responsive, and community-driven,” he said.
According to him, establishing state police would ensure quicker response time, stronger local intelligence, and the deployment of officers familiar with the cultural and geographical contexts of their communities.
Chrysanthus stressed that concerns of abuse can be tackled through robust checks and balances, similar to accountability mechanisms in federal institutions.
He urged the National Assembly, the presidency, and stakeholders to move swiftly and decisively toward creating state policing structures, describing it as both a smart policy and a moral necessity.
“Security is not a privilege reserved for the elite, nor is it an ornament of political status to be paraded around election seasons. Security is a right, a non-negotiable, fundamental right of every Nigerian citizen,” he added.

Human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has said that what the British colonial regime handed over to Nigeria in 1960 was “flag independence.”
Falana made this statement on Wednesday, when he appeared as a guest on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
He said, “Between 1951 and 1959 when you had the first indigenous ruling in the country, the politicians during the First Republic, even the Second Republic, the political parties that were set up, were largely ideological.
“They knew what they wanted and were competing among themselves. They were acquiring power with responsibilities.
“In 1960, what the British colonial regime handed over to Nigeria was ‘flag independence’. But then, the first set of politicians made good use of it before the system collapsed.”

Nigeria cannot afford 36 states – Bismarck Rewane
An economist and Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Bismarck Rewane, has said that Nigeria cannot sustain 36 states at present.
Rewane made this statement on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He argued that Nigeria spends excessively on administration.
“Nigeria cannot afford to have 36 states. It’s unviable. We spend too much money administering.
“This country is twice the size of California in terms of geographical space, and the number of people administering this country in terms of 774 local governments, 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT. Managing what?” he stated.
Speaking further, Rewane said: “Take for instance, the old Western region is now split into several states being managed by governors, commissioners, special assistants and the likes. I think you have to rethink to restructure, whether you will go back to regionalism or not.”
