The proposed constitutional amendment for state police has been approved by only four state Houses of Assembly: Edo, Osun, Oyo, and Rivers. Several other state legislatures have not yet begun consideration of the bill, with some stating they are awaiting transmission from the National Assembly. The National Assembly transmitted the 1999 Constitution (Sixth Alteration) Bill, 2026, to the 36 state Houses of Assembly on September 16, seeking their concurrence. Concerns are rising over the pace of the amendment process, as the push for state police faces a fresh hurdle.
