Full List: Seven Proposed New States in 2024 You Should Know

Jul 10, 2024 | Entertainment, News


Since the beginning of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, the National Assembly has appeared working toward making a significant change in the constitutional amendment process, particularly the creation of new states in the southern part of the country.

Though there has been a constitutional amendment since the return of democracy in 1999, the tenth national assembly seemed to be making moves to make a big difference and set big records with the agitation for the creation of new states.

The federal government, on its part, was also moving to set some records that Nigerians will forever point to as President Tinubu’s legacies, such as the Lagos to Calabar coastal highway and the move for local government autonomy.

If all these could be achieved within the space of one term, four years of Tinubu’s administration, then the tenth assembly and the president would have something to be remembered for, considering the fact that most of these things were last done by the military.
