Nigerian senate has said it only received proposal for the Creation of additional states but never made any recommendation.

Ajibola Basiru, spokesperson of the senate, in statement on Sunday was reacting to a media report which claims the upper chamber has proposed creation of additional 20 states .

“Far from recommending creation of any state, the Senate Committee, while acknowledging receipts of several Bills proposing creation of new states, decided that it is not in a position to recommend or proposed the creation of any state unless there is compliance with the provisions of section 8 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic as amended,” the statement reads.
