Nigerian Lawmakers Adopt 2014 Confab Report
The Nigerian House of Representatives has adopted the report of the
national conference held in 2014 during the Goodluck Jonathan
administration.
The report among other things recommends for Nigeria, 54 states, modified presidential system of government, state police as well as a revenue sharing formula whereby Federal Government gets 42.5 percent, states receive 35 percent and local governments earn 22.5 per cent.
Chairman of the Reps' Adhoc Committee on the review of the constitution, Yusuf Lasun, said the committee will commence work on the document as soon as the house resumes from its Sallah Break.
“Copies of the report have been circulated to members of the committee to go through and come up with recommendations to the committee while the consultants to the committee have been given the report to advise the committee on how to go about it," he said.
Some of the salient proposals in the report would be turned into draft bills which would be presented to the house for adoption and passage.
