National Assembly
By John Shiklam
The Southern Kaduna Progressive Youth Movement (SKPYM) Monday faulted the position of the Northern socio cultural organisation, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) on the creation of new states.
The ACF had at the weekend expressed its opposition to the creation of additional states, noting that it will only add to the huge cost of governance without bringing about development.
But the Southern Kaduna youth movement while criticising the position of the forum in a statement Monday in Kaduna, alleged that ACF was against the wishes and aspiration of Nigerians who are desirous of states.
The youth group claimed further that the forum was particularly against the agitation for the creation of Gurara state from the present Kaduna as being demanded for by the Southern Kaduna people.

State creation will drive development faster to rural areas. People criticize every thing in this country.

state creation is good if d new state have a focus and progressive governor at d helms of her affair. Today Akwa Ibom state that came out of cross river is more developed than cross river herself. without d creation, d area today known as AkwaIbom would have been a glorified village in Cross River State. State creation definately brings development to d grass root.

ACF position on the issue is good.
