National Assembly set to create new states
Senate President, David Mark, has
declared that the present National Assembly is ready to make history by
being the first legislature to create states outside the military
regime.
He made this known today when he
received a delegation agitating for the creation of Gurara State out of
the present Kaduna State in Abuja. `
According to Mr. Mark, the Assembly
would break the jinx that states could only be created by the military.
He assured Nigerians that the committee on the review of the 1999
Constitution would be fair to all in the consideration of states to be
created.
Describing the demand for Gurara State
as genuine, the senate president noted that it was a clear
demonstration of their desire to bring the people closer to the
government, and urged them to unite and eschew religious or ethnic
sentiments.
The leader of the delegation, Bawa Magaji, said the creation of the
proposed Gurara State was approved by the Kaduna State House of
Assembly in its resolution on Nov. 18, 2009. “The proposed Gurara
State, with headquarters in Kachia, has a population of 3,383,207 and a
land mass area of about 28,393 square kilometres,” he said.
The creation of ADADA state is long overdue; and needs to be created out from the present Enugu state.We are very happy for the new development, and urge the National Assembly to be fucused not to be distracted in their constitutional duties.
