Senate Pledges State Police Amendment Passage Before Year's End

The Senate has pledged to finish constitutional amendment on state police before the end of the year, Senate spokesman Yemi Adaramodu stated on Friday while speaking with Newsmen.

He stated that the upper chamber would immediately resume work on the constitutional review once plenary reconvenes next week.

Adaramodu said consultations are already complete—stakeholder meetings held in all six zones and in key sectors—and the committee has compiled its reports.

“State police is a popular demand. The President has signed into it, the state governors too have signed into it, and the National Assembly is in love with it".

“Before electioneering starts, we would have done and dusted it, then pass it on to Mr President for assent,” he said, giving assurance the amendment will land before campaign season.

He called state police “a popular demand, noting that the upper chamber will treat the amendment “expeditiously now that budget work is out of the way.

The chamber will resume its review next week, after a brief plenary pause for the electoral‑bill amendment (now law) and the 2026 Appropriation.
