Senator Kawu Suleiman Abdurrahman, representing Kano South has introduced the "Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (Alteration) Creation of Tiga State Bill, 2024 (SB.523)" in the Nigerian Senate.


The bill, aimed at establishing Tiga State from Kano, underwent its First Reading on July 10, 2024.

In conjunction with the bill's introduction, Senator Bamidele Michael Opeyemi (Ekiti Central), Senate Leader, highlighted ongoing efforts to amend the Standing Orders of the Senate.

"The amendments are essential to ensuring our legislative processes remain adaptable and effective," Senator Opeyemi explained. "We aim to reflect current realities and optimise the Senate's operational framework."

The Senate acknowledged the necessity of updating the Standing Orders, previously revised in 2023, to accommodate new legislative priorities and streamline committee functions. Amendments include enhancing Order 8(2) to align with contemporary governance needs.



The bill will undergo further readings and scrutiny by Senate committees to evaluate its feasibility and impact.

Carving an another state out of Kano?

That’s an anathema!!!!

Funniest thing is the population will now be more than Lagos after carving a new state out of Kano. The j
Jigawa incidence came to mind.

That means the North West will increase to 8.

Niger state is the only state due for breaking in the whole of the north

Just like Anioma state, this state won't be created

No problem.

They are free to create another 10 states if they like.

Anioma will not exist.

Tiga will exist and the third-class citizens are free to wail.

Slave no dey dictate for master

Funny how Tinubu will create Tiga State and leave Anioma State because of 2027

You really understand Nigeria

Paraman:

You are right. Creation of new states are totally unnecessary. It is the oil producing states that will bear the brunt as their wealth will be channelled to sustaining these unproductive states.
