Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday, announced a 45-member constitution review committee on the 1999 constitution to be chaired by the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin.

The committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has a member from each of the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In addition, each of the six geopolitical zones has a member on the committee.

“We are taking one senator per state because we are talking about the constitution amendment. One senator per state and then we are also taking one senator representing each geo-political zone .

“So, in case you noticed two senators from one state, that would mean that one of them represents the zone, while there’s one senator from that zone representing that state”, Akpabio said.

However, the Senate President disclosed that the committee will be inaugurated next week Tuesday in the upper chamber.

Also, Akpabio directed that all the proposals for amendments to the constitution should be forwarded to the committee.
