The House of Representatives Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution has put forward a proposal for the creation of 31 additional states across the country.

If approved, this move would significantly alter Nigeria’s political and administrative landscape, increasing the total number of states from 36 to 67. The proposal seeks to address demands for greater representation, economic viability, and regional balance in governance.

If approved, this restructuring would be one of the most significant political shifts since Nigeria’s last major state creation exercise in 1996, which brought the number of states from 30 to 36.

Today on People Talk, we ask Nigerians their thoughts on the Reps’ proposal to create 31 additional states.
