The House of Representatives will on Wednesday, December 3 and Thursday, December 4 vote on the Constitution amendment bills currently before it, as part of its commitment to conclude the ongoing constitution review process before the end of 2025.
Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu announced this during plenary on Tuesday, December 2 urging members to prepare and fully participate in the voting sessions.
Kalu, who also chairs the Constitution Review Committee, said the exercise marks a major step toward finalising the reforms.
Persecondnews gathered that the Senate and the House have already reached agreement on about 44 out of more than 60 proposals considered during the zonal public hearings.
Key bills slated for consideration include special seats for women, state police, state creation, indigeneship, electoral reforms and several others.
Persecondnews reports that the National Assembly’s constitutional review process reached a critical milestone on Monday, November 24, with the final and decisive joint retreat.
The forum served as the last major deliberation before legislators vote on sweeping amendments set to redefine Nigeria’s governance structure.
