NEW 31 STATES: SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 5TH OF MARCH AFTER THE PROPOSALS DIDN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. (PHOTO).


 

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Constitution Review Committee, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has revealed that none of the 31 proposals for new states met the constitutional requirements. As a result, the submission deadline has been extended to March 5, 2025, for applicants to fulfill the necessary provisions.


Speaking at a two-day retreat in Akwa Ibom, Kalu disclosed that over 200 bills seeking amendments to the 1999 Constitution have been received, covering areas such as federal structure, local government autonomy, revenue allocation, security reforms, and electoral processes.

Additionally, zonal public hearings will be held across the six geopolitical zones to gather further input from stakeholders.
