National Assembly Targets Year-End Delivery of Constitution Amendments

The National Assembly, led by Senator Jibrin Barau (Kano North), is focused on finalizing the first set of amendments to the 1999 Constitution by year-end. The process involves reviewing 69 bills, considering state creation requests, boundary adjustments, and local government creations.

The aim is to ensure a credible and transparent amendment process with broad national participation. Barau emphasized the importance of the Constitution in Nigeria's democracy and urged members to work together for the nation's interest.

The joint retreat of the Senate and House of Representatives marks a crucial stage in the ongoing constitutional amendment process.
