The Senate has explained that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was excluded from the proposed state police arrangement because it lacks the constitutional structures of a state, including a governor and a House of Assembly. The Ekiti lawmaker noted that the FCT is administered by a minister who operates under the Federal Executive Council, unlike states headed by elected governors. “Again, the FCT does not have a governor. It is run by a minister who subscribes to the Federal Executive Council. Under the proposed arrangement, state Houses of Assembly would have powers to legislate on the establishment, administration, funding and oversight of state police.
