A bill proposing the establishment of Ogoja State has successfully passed its second reading in the House of Representatives.
Sponsored by Godwin Offiono and three co-sponsors, the constitution alteration bill seeks to amend the 1999 Constitution to create an additional state in Nigeria’s South-South region.
During the plenary session, Offiono emphasized that the “essence of this bill is rested on equity,” highlighting the need for equitable representation and resource distribution in the area.
