Why Anioma state, is not in the new List of states as presented by Reps.

Why Anioma State Was Not Among the 31 Proposed States Announced by the House of Reps

Since the House of Representatives announced 31 proposed new states, many people have been asking: Why is Anioma State missing from the list?

The answer is simple—Anioma State was not proposed in the House of Reps but in the Senate. The push for Anioma State was championed by Senator Ned Nwoko, meaning it is being considered in the Senate rather than in the House of Representatives.

This is an important distinction because both chambers of the National Assembly—the Senate and the House of Reps—handle legislative matters separately. While the House of Reps is reviewing 31 proposals, the Senate is also working on its own list, which includes Anioma State.

So, if you’re wondering why Anioma wasn’t mentioned in the House of Reps’ announcement, there’s no cause for alarm. The proposal is still very much alive, just in a different legislative process.
