UPDATE ON NEW STATE CREATION FOR SOUTH-EAST

UPDATE ON NEW STATE CREATION FOR SOUTH-EAST

Fresh information reaching us confirms that Etiti State and Anioma State have been shortlisted, and one of them is likely to become the 6th State of the South-East.

This approval was reportedly made yesterday in Lagos, and only ONE of the two will be officially created next year — becoming Nigeria’s 37th State.

The proposal for Etiti State at the House of Representatives was sponsored by Hon. Amaobi Ogah, while Senator Ned Nwoko is the sponsor of the Anioma State proposal at the Senate.

A photo below shows the two lawmakers exchanging pleasantries after federal lawmakers unanimously endorsed the creation of a new South-East state.

(Important: Both states scaled approval at committee level, but only one will be selected.)
