As constitution review discussions in Nigeria are gaining momentum, stakeholders in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states converged to deliberate on key issues.
At the top of their discussions were state and Local Government creation, Local Government Autonomy, Legislative Autonomy, Education as a Fundamental Human Right, and Recognition of Traditional Institutions.
Stakeholders from Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara who presented memorandum before the House of Representatives committee at International Conference Centre, Sokoto said the call for local government autonomy was particularly significant, as it seeks to address the longstanding issue of limited autonomy for local governments in Nigeria.
