Diri said the three states and the FCT are the only entities that have yet to do so out of the 36 states.

“These three states are Adamawa, Kebbi and incidentally Kwara, which is the state of the Chairman of the Governors Forum, and the FCT is yet to submit its positions.

“The council mandated the remaining states and the FCT to present their proposals within the next week and resolved to present a consolidated state position on state policing to the National Economic Council at our next meeting.”
