Six new states have been proposed by the joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatives on constitution review.
The proposal was one of the key resolutions of the two-day retreat, co-chaired by Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin and House of Representatives deputy speaker Benjamin Kalu in Lagos.
However, the joint committee considered 69 bills, 55 state creation requests, two boundary adjustments, and 278 local government creation requests during the retreat.
