A proposal to increase Nigeria’s states from 36 to 67 is currently under consideration by the House of Representatives Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution.
During a plenary session in Abuja on Thursday, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu presented the committee’s recommendation, which advocates for the establishment of 31 additional states across the country.
The proposal, if approved, would mark one of the most significant structural changes in Nigeria’s governance system.
Further details on the deliberations and potential implications are expected as discussions progress.
