and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, said Shettima expressed dissatisfaction about the delay.
“While noting the presentation, the Vice President observed that the rate of submissions by states was not impressive and urged states yet to make input to expedite action to enable robust deliberations on the subject matter at the next Council meeting”, the statement said.
According to the communique at the end of the meeting, the governors “highlighted the need for state policing as a critical amendment in the ongoing 1999 Constitution amendment proceedings to correct fundamental flaws in the national security architecture.”
AbdulRazaq also presented a report by NEC’s Ad-hoc Committee on Economic Affairs, which was mandated to develop a feasible and effective roadmap for addressing economic issues affecting Nigerians at the national and sub-national levels to avert potential economic and socio-political crisis.
Also, the NEC Ad-hoc Committee on Crude Oil Theft Prevention and Control, headed by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, presented an abridged update on its assignment.
Uzodimma said the committee met, had far-reaching deliberations and deployed appropriate technologies for data collection, adding that the full report would be presented at the next NEC meeting.
Also, NEC received a report on the Ease of Doing Business Reforms by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), commending the work done so far by its secretariat.
It noted the need for states to commence preparations for the 2025 sub-national ranking for ease of doing business in Nigeria.
NEC also directed its ad hoc committee on economic affairs to work with the Federal Ministry of Finance and come up with an appropriate approach to averting risks associated with loan facilities from development partners.
