National Assembly Approves Additional State for South-East Amid Marginalization Concerns
The National Assembly's joint committee on constitutional review has approved the creation of an additional state for the South-East region following a two-day retreat in Lagos. The decision aims to tackle the perceived marginalization of the region within the nation's political structure.
Key figures involved in the approval include Barau Jibrin, Benjamin Kalu, and Osita Izunaso. This move is seen as a significant step towards addressing the long-standing demands for a sixth state in the South-East, achieving a balance of six states per geopolitical zone.
