Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has disclosed that the Federal Government took major decisions aimed at strengthening democratic institutions and enhancing national security during two high-level meetings held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Vice President, who attended both the National Council of State and the Nigeria Police Council meetings presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said the sessions focused on reforms to improve governance, security coordination, and law enforcement efficiency across the country.

According to Shettima, one of the major resolutions reached at the National Council of State was the approval of Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) — a move expected to strengthen the credibility and independence of Nigeria’s electoral process.

At the Nigeria Police Council meeting, the discussions centered on improving the welfare and performance of police officers, as well as deepening collaboration between federal and state security agencies. The Council also explored potential decentralisation measures, including the possibility of establishing state policing, as part of efforts to build a more responsive and community-driven security framework.

Shettima reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to advancing institutional reforms that promote accountability, transparency, and effective service delivery. He emphasized that the outcomes of these meetings demonstrate President Tinubu’s resolve to tackle insecurity while strengthening the rule of law and good governance.
