The most important things are not being discussed

Restructuring and implementation of true federalism

State policing is the way forward, how do you expect Adamu from Gombe to be the police commissioner in Ebonyi State where he doesn't know the language they speak and their culture

Death penalty for corrupt government officials that embezzle public funds

So the amendments are mostly for local government name changes and related affairs? When they should do important amendments like abolish state of origin , abolish religious police like hisbah, abolish religious based influences on business and education.

These law makers are a bunch of rouges and illiterates
