The Speakers made their resolution known at the end of their general meeting on Thursday in Abuja and signed it by the Conference’ Chairman, Adebo Ogundoyin.
He revealed that the conference was in support of the establishment of state police to combat the deluge of security challenges facing the country.
“We also want state police to check the negative trend of insecurity in our country,” he said.
