GOVERNOR MUTFWANG ON ARISE TV TOWN HALL PROGRAMME, "Building a National Consensus for State Police and National Security,"

Today, The Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang had the privilege of speaking on the Arise TV Town Hall Programme with the theme, "Building a National Consensus for State Police and National Security," where he presented Plateau State's perspective on the decades-long security challenges confronting the  people and why the establishment of State Police has become an urgent national imperative.

He stated that when he assumed office, Plateau State was grappling with numerous security challenges. One of the first decisive steps we took was to reactivate Operation Rainbow, the state-owned security outfit established with the approval of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to provide critical intelligence support to conventional security agencies. Beyond that, the government have invested in technology-driven surveillance and continue to strengthen and optimize the security architecture to improve intelligence gathering, rapid response, and public safety.

Governor Mutfwang commend His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his bold leadership in advancing the long-awaited national conversation on State Police and for moving the discussion beyond rhetoric toward concrete action. He firmly believe that the benefits of State Police far outweigh the concerns that have been raised. While every reform comes with challenges, potential abuses can be addressed through robust legal safeguards, institutional checks, accountability mechanisms, and effective oversight.

Governor Mutfwang further stated that critical issue that deserves greater national attention is the question of sustainable funding. If we establish a reliable funding framework for State Police, we will significantly strengthen our collective capacity to confront insecurity across the country.

As he emphasized during the discussion, if we fail to act now, we will ultimately pay a much higher price in the future. This is a defining moment for our nation. We must seize this opportunity to build a security system that reflects our realities, protects our citizens, and secures the future of Nigeria.
