The Federal Government has sent the State Police amendment bill to all 36 State Houses of Assembly for ratification.
If approved by the required number of states, it will be one of the biggest security reforms since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999.
The bill seeks to allow states to establish their own police to tackle insecurity in their various states.
Many Nigerians have been calling for state police to help fight banditry, kidnapping and other crimes.
