The National Confab in July made recommendations for the Nigerian states which was 36 to be increased to 54 by adding 18 more states to the Nation. Above is a copy of the would be Nigerian map if the states are created.
The new states proposed by the conference are: Aba, to be carved out of the present Abia State; Katagum, from Bauchi State; Ijebu, from Ogun State; Amana, from former Sardauna Province; Apa, from Benue State; Anioma, from Delta State, Savannah, from Borno State; and Etiti, from South-East.
Njaba/Anim, from Anambra and Imo states; Gurara, from Kaduna State; Ghari, from Kano State; Adada from Enugu State, New Oyo from Oyo State; Orachi, from Rivers State; Ogoja, from Cross River State; and Kainji, from Kebbi and Niger states Ose state from Edo, Edu from Niger.
The Closing ceremony will take place tomorrow 21st August.
As a country with only 36 states we have so much trouble with tribalism and disagreements with regions and borders even with those in the same zone. Is the creation of these new 18 states, expected to bind us or separate? I believe the confab were sleeping when they passed this as a recommendation. Having said this it is still up to us to decide.
Nigerians do you want more States?
