I don't know whether na to celebrate to this "additional states" or not because this na the least thing wey we Nigerians d think as the problem wey we get as a country. The House of Representative Committee is proposing the creation of 31 additional state, to the already 36 existing state. Which will now sum up to 67 states, looks very funny to me cos I no expect am.

Nigerians celebrate as lawmakers propose the creation of 31 new states in Nigeria

The House of Representatives Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution has proposed the creation of 31 additional states, which would increase Nigeria’s states from 36 to 67 if approved.

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu read the proposal during Thursday’s plenary, listing the new states across different geopolitical zones.

In the North-Central, the proposed states include Benue Ala, Okun, Okura, Confluence, Apa-Agba, Apa, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The North-East will have Amana, Katagum, Savannah, and Muri, while the North-West is set to get New Kaduna, Gurara, Tiga, Kainji, and Ghari.

In the South-East, the proposed states are Etiti, Adada, Urashi, Orlu, and Aba. The South-South will have Ogoja, Warri, Bori, and Obolo, while the South-West is expected to get Toru-Ebe, Ibadan, Lagoon, Ijebu, and Oke-Ogun/Ife-Ijesha.

For the proposal to take effect, it requires approval from two-thirds of the National Assembly, affected State Assemblies, and Local Government Councils.

How una take see this new development cos already the 36 states wey d for the country is not even sustainable, House of Representative wan add another governors with their wahala give us

At the time when Nigerian are in hunger, high cost of living , inflation and high interest rate is the order of the day. Then politicians with misplace priority will sit down and propose more 31 states when they have not been able to combat and tackle the numerous problems of Nigeria. Some Nigerian might be happy but I can't celebrate such development when people are suffering.
