The National Conference in its final report recommended the creation of 18 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 18 new states.

The newly approved states as seen on the map bellow include;
Apa from Benue,
Edu from Niger,
Kainji from Kebbi state
Katagum from Bauchi,
Savannah from Borno,
Amana from Adamawa,
Gurara f rom Kaduna,
Ghari from Kano,
Etiti from South East,
Aba from Abia,
Adada from Enugu,
Njaba from Anambra and Imo,
Oil River from Rivers state
Anioma fror Delta state,
Ogoja from Cross River State,
IJebu from Ogun State
Ose state from Edo
New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.

PREMIUM TIMES obtained a copy of the proposed map of a new Nigeria after the states proposed by the conference are created.

seriously seems unlikely serious

And they refused to create state for people in Kwara south and yoruba speaking people in Kogi state.

Handsomeemmy: And they refused to create state for people in Kwara south and yoruba speaking people in Kogi state.

But don't you think that it will eventually lead to division.,as people who were previously brothers will start fighting for political advantage?

The Conference is a total failure as far as I'm concerned. No new state will be created until Kwara south is carved out of that goddamn Kwara State.

I don't know the use of creating more states.
They can't maintain 36 states very well it is 54 states they would maintain they just succeeded in creating 18 new ways for our politicians to loot more money.

I wonder why we have to create more administrative bottle-necks in a country were 70% of our budget is expended on recurrent expenditure
