The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, or NYCN, has strongly opposed the idea of establishing a state police.
The state police were described by NYCN as a “waste of time” and a “misplaced priority” for the federal government.
Isah Abubakar, the National President of NYCN, said in a statement that the organization thinks this initiative will duplicate current agencies and ignore the core problems with Nigeria’s security architecture.
Another group of investors has successfully finished the 6,000 MT facility after being impressed by the commercial quantity and quality of lithium in Nasarawa, he said.
The project, according to Sule, is a strategic step in Nigeria’s efforts to industrialize its solid minerals sector, decrease exports of raw minerals, and establish local value chains.
One of the most sought-after minerals in the world today is lithium, which is essential to rechargeable batteries used in electric cars and renewable energy storage.
Additionally, they contended that Nigerian politicians are still immature enough to manage a security system free from federal supervision without abusing their power and urged the federal government to form a committee right away to carry out a comprehensive reorganization and growth of the Nigeria Police Force.
In sharp contrast to the current force of less than 300,000, the NYCN claims that a country with more than 200 million citizens needs a police force of at least 5 million.
