House Of Representatives to Vote on Constitution Amendment Bills Wednesday and Thursday

The House of Representatives will on Wednesday and Thursday vote on a series of Constitution amendment bills, in a bid to accelerate the ongoing review process and ensure its conclusion before the end of 2025.

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu made the announcement during Tuesday’s plenary, urging lawmakers to be present and actively participate in the critical voting exercise.

Kalu, who also chairs the Constitution Review Committee, described the upcoming vote as a major milestone in finalising the long-running constitutional reform effort.

Findings indicate that both the Senate and the House have already reached consensus on about 44 of the more than 60 proposals presented during nationwide zonal public hearings.

Among the key issues slated for consideration are special seats for women, the creation of state police, the establishment of new states, reforms on indigeneship, and several electoral amendments.
