**Tinubu Tasks NASS to Amend Constitution for State Police** In a bid to tackle the country's escalating security challenges, President Bola Tinubu has called on the National Assembly to begin the process of amending the Constitution to allow for the establishment of State Police. During an interfaith breaking of fast with senators at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, President Tinubu emphasized the dire need to re-examine the country's security framework, citing the proliferation of terrorism, banditry, and insurgency across Nigeria. He appealed to senators to start considering the feasibility of amending the Constitution to empower states to maintain their own police forces, thus enhancing the security of lives and property. This appeal comes on the heels of a similar pledge made by the president to state governors during an Iftar dinner on Monday. In that occasion, President Tinubu assured the governors that the establishment of State Police would not be delayed, stressing the importance of this initiative in combating the growing insecurity in the country. Establishing State Police requires a constitutional amendment, which must receive support from a two-thirds majority in both chambers of the National Assembly and be ratified by at least 24 state Houses of Assembly. President Tinubu's call to the National Assembly signals a renewed commitment to addressing the country's security challenges. As Nigerians eagerly await the outcome of this development, it remains to be seen whether the country's lawmakers will rise to the challenge and take decisive action to amend the Constitution. In addition to his remarks on security, President Tinubu also used the occasion to highlight the significance of the convergence of Ramadan and Lent, describing it as a season of reflection, sacrifice, compassion, and national unity. This convergence, he noted, presents an opportunity for Nigerians to come together and recommit to the values that define the country's collective identity.
