Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has inaugurated a 14-member State Advisory Committee on State Police to enhance security in the state. The committee, led by DIG Habila Joshak (Rtd), aims to review the State Police concept and provide recommendations for national policy deliberations.

Governor Mutfwang stated that the panel will help develop a practical framework for Plateau, considering constitutional provisions, national security priorities, and the state’s unique security challenges. Members include security experts, scholars, and public policy practitioners such as Brig. Gen. Gakji Shipi (Rtd), AIG Bashir Makama (Rtd), and Prof. Jamila Nasir.

The committee will examine constitutional and legal frameworks, review national policy proposals, and assess Plateau’s security issues. DIG Habila Joshak (Rtd) assured that the committee will work diligently in the interest of peace, security, and sustainable development.

The initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s call for policing reforms nationwide and reflects Plateau State’s commitment to strengthening its security architecture.
