The National Economic Council will reconvene later this month as more state governments have submitted their reports on the establishment of state police.
This came to the fore on Monday as Punch reported that about 10 states had begun the process of deploying forest guards to protect farmers and flush out bandits.
Spokesperson for the Vice President, Mr Stanley Nkwocha, had revealed that NEC was still awaiting reports from 20 states, expressing confidence that others would support.
However, no details were given about the specific states. But Nkwocha had, at the time, affirmed that the total number would be presented at the next NEC meeting even as “the compilation is still going on”.
