The National Conference in its final report recommended the creation of 19 additional states to bring the number of states in the country to 54.
The recommendation was made by the Committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government jointly headed by Ike Nwachukwu and Mohammed Kumalia.
Initially, some Northern delegates kicked against moves to create additional states apart from the one proposed for the South-East which was overwhelmingly supported. But after series of consultations by the leadership of delegations, the Conference unanimously adopted the recommendation for the creation of additional 19 new states.
Below is the obtained copy of the proposed map of a new Nigeria after the states proposed by the conference are created.

Hisses and walks away....

Why create additional states when you cannot sustain and develop existing ones??!!

What a Country!!!

Anioma has to be Igbo dominated...

Jona pls take note

kadas01: Why create additional states when you cannot sustain and develop existing ones??!!

Basically, to have more governors elect and state house of assembly reps and commisioners, to reduce congestion in election in few states, and ultimately so they can loot the nation in diversity.

With the abolition of local government from the constitution States creation is well in order by me. Remember, states that want to merge will be allowed to merge as long as their state assembly and the people within that state approve via a referendum.

These usually happens after huge frauds has taken place in some of the states to be recreated.
Look at Akwa Ibom, Delta, Abia, Enugu, Cross River in the southern region of the present 36 states the plan is to recreate part of them.
EFCC be on the lookout....all these thieves won't go free. The present and past PDP governments has emptied the economy of those states. Now they want to erase the records and move into a new phase.
Nonsense....

Crazy ppl

APC has a lot of work to do with this Jona government. He thinks he is smart....

No more confusion, each zone with 9 states each.

Is that what we truly need?

Where is Sambisa State?

Which resources are they going to use to develop these states? Mad delegates.

Foolish,confused old men

atlwireles: No more confusion, each zone with 9 states each.

10 for north-central! Then we will start creating one more each in another conference for the zones with 9 states!

where is the tenth state? I hope you are not counting Abuja.

You complain because it doesn't favour you.

The people in those proposed States are not complaining and welcome the development.

Some people usually mask their bitterness and bigotry in the name of Intellectual-ism and pseudo-nationalism

I don't think there's anything Wrong in creating new states. After all, I'm a state myself. I provide myself security, electricity, provide jobs to some people, house myself, provide my own water, learn better from reading than what my lecturers taught me, etc etc.

Wetin come remain for government to do?

Ngwakwe: You complain because it doesn't favour you.

Where do you stand on this issue? We are saying that the PDP characters would hijack the dreams of the people of the new states and convert to theirs. We know what they can do. They did it to Ebonyi, Abia, Akwa Ibom in the south, the marks are there till date.

atlwireles:

Oops, you are right. That's 9 for each zone. But looking at the map, some states may agitate to be 'reassigned' to a different zone. #guraraonmymind

The conference created a process for state merging,If the people and state assemblies so choose.

lol... I'm I seeing a landlocked Rivers state?
ijaw expansionist plan is on serious overdrive .

With the entrenchment of free and fair election where our votes count. I foresee PDP and APC being bigger platforms as coalitions in parliamentary system while smaller parties will emerge at the grassroots with the peoples mandate taking over LGAs and Development Authorities including States and Federal Constituencies.

These grassroot parties will either align with PDP or APC during State or Federal elections on mutual consent and shared responsibilities thereby checking the excesses of the Elites and Political Jobbers including Military Cabals.

Well, I just hope no other state comes out of SW except the much needed Ijebu & Kabba states. .......as long as I have these 2, TO HELL WITH THE OTHERS. They can go create states in their backyards. !!

As long as the current political elite remain influential, I don't see any mergers taking place. I may be wrong though. I was one of those disappointed they did not consider the regional option

That is if any of these will even be implemented

I like your style of arguing.

1. You see what is playing out in the current 36 states would continue.
2. The military cabals you referred to are everywhere today in politics and active. At all levels ....
3. An audit has to be carried out to determine how the last few additional states have faired. I mean politically, economically and socially. I can tell you for sure that it is disaster. Anything being done today by the incumbent governments are last minutes interventions.....
4. Except the power is handed over to the people to decide by themselves, it shall be the same story in another two decades.
5. Now PDP would come and decide the structures: otherwise known as zoning....that is where the false steps are taken....
