The National Economic Council, NEC, on Wednesday gave a Monday September 9 deadline to four Nigetian states to submit reports on the establishment of state police.
The NEC also resolved to adopt the comprehensive reports from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja and warned that any of the four states that refused to submit its report before the deadline, any decision taken would be binding on such State.
This is as the Federal Government has released N3 billion to states affected by the ravaging flood in the country.

Lawal said the council would take appropriate decisions if the states failed to present their reports on September 9.
Although, he refused to mention the name of the four states yet to submit their reports, a source privy to the meeting named the states as Adamawa, Kwara, Sokoto, Kebbi States and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Also briefing, the Governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed , said NEC discussed exhaustively the flood situation across the states and that the governors acknowledged the support of the federal government in terms of releasing N3 billion as a measure to ensure that at least they provide palliative for the flood.
