Nigeria: Controversy Erupts as Lawmakers Propose Creation of 31 New States | Firstpost Africa
In a controversial legislative move, Nigerian lawmakers have recommended the creation of 31 new states across the country. If implemented, this would increase the number of states to 67 from 36 currently, a significant restructuring of Nigeria’s federal system. Nigeria has undergone several state-creation exercises since its independence. In this case, the demand was primarily for greater economic benefits and better representation. Still, it has been met with criticism from the people. Experts have cautioned that additional states would come with immense fiscal and administrative costs. For now, the proposal is still under discussion. Will Nigeria restructure its federal system again? Watch for more.
