Tinubu Considers Approval of New State Creation in Nigeria Amid Anioma State Proposal

The article discusses the possibility of creating a new state in Nigeria, particularly Anioma State in the South East region. There are indications that prominent political figure Tinubu may approve the creation of only one new state.

The proposal for Anioma State aims to address feelings of marginalization in the South East. The plan involves combining parts of Anioma with Delta State and Orlu Zone in Imo State.

Senator Ned Nwoko is actively supporting the Anioma cause, expressing confidence in its realization. The final decision on the state creation is pending a meeting with stakeholders, including the President.

The proposed capital for Anioma State is Asaba, although details and approval timelines remain uncertain.
