The conditions were contained in a statement by the Senate Spokesperson and Chairman, Senate Committee of Media and Public Affairs, Ajibola Basiru.
Among the provisions of the section are having a referendum by at least two-thirds majority of the people of the area; and approval by a two-thirds majority of members of each House of the National Assembly. The report is a gross misrepresentation of the decision of the committee on the request for creation of more states. Far from recommending creation of any state, the Senate Committee, while acknowledging receipts of several Bills proposing creation of new states, decided that it is not in a position to recommend or proposed the creation of any state unless there is compliance with the provisions of section 8 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic as amended.
Build more schools; build more hospitals; build more States. Just build and build without equipping them with the infrastructure needed. Many of the existing States cannot even pay salaries. What we need is true federalism and not this.
We want to unite but they are busy disintegrating us..
Why r this ppl having misplaced priorities!!! Mbok
Bullshitttttttt...
No need for all these non economically viable states.They are problems.Just add one more state to the south east and it's okay for now.
needless unsolicited exercise. Like self determination it can not done by 3rd parties. They are trying to muddle the history and roots of indigenous ethnic nationalities. people naturally are supposed to discuss and negotiate their association and membership in the union.
And Kano will have 2 states calved out from it making it 3 states in Kano province while Lagos state still battles to legalise the created LCDAs. So lagos with that much population will still be in that entrapment called lagos?
Rubbish nd madness
Nonentity called NASS ,should stop playing with Nigerians emotions, only south east deserved 1 more state.
Which one be ITAI State from Akwa Ibom
Nigeria leaders are mad!! They don't think of how to create more jobs for the unemployed youths, construct modern bridges and roads but to create new states. 😲 What a shame!!
Ibolo state from kwara state should be part of the list.
They keep dividing the indigenous population that is their aims hmm 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't fall for this tactical move 1st introduced by the imperialist for ease of admin. & subjugation. The further balkanize Nig is, the less likely we’re to fight Fulani hegemony. Instead, the Senate should focus on fiscal federalism, regional govt & ditching the ‘99 constitution
So painful!💔
Be careful and think deeply about everything concerning North and South as a scam just like the Nigerian constitution shine your eye while handling parasitism
A ploy to further steal the resources of the south to fend for the inept, redundant, backwards gravitating north.

We have the very dregs of society leading us & they are going to lead and push us all off a cliff to destruction if they are not all shown the door. How can a reasonable human being, a politician think that state creation is what we need now? Is this their madness without cure?
