The proposal of a new map in the final report of the
National conference has seen them act further on
an earlier recommendation made in July of creating
an additional 18 states to bring the number of states
in Nigeria to 54.
The recommendation made last month when the
National Conference took a bold and unprecedented
step under a democratic dispensation of approving
18 new states requests, was a way of meeting the
“yearnings and aspirations of the people.”
Although the proposal did not sit well with all,
especially the Northern delegates, a series of
consultations led to an unanimous decision to create
an additional 18 new states for Nigeria.
The newly approved states, according to a map
obtained by premium times are:
Apa from Benue
Edu from Niger
Kainji from Kebbi state
Katagum from Jigawa
Savannah from Borno
Amana from Adamawa
Gurara from Kaduna
Ghari from Kano
Etiti from South East
Aba from Abia
Adada from Enugu
Njaba from Anambra
Imo, Oil River from Rivers state
Anioma from Delta state
Ogoja from Cross River State
Ijebu from Ogun State
Ose state from Edo
New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.
