The House of Representatives, through its Constitution Review Committee , has formed seven subcommittees to oversee different thematic areas as part of its efforts towards constitutional reforms.Deputy Speaker and Chairman of the CRC, Ben Kalu, announced the division of the constitution into these thematic areas during the meeting of the committee.
For local government affairs, the National Assembly seeks to amend the constitution to guarantee local government autonomy, aligning with a Supreme Court ruling which ordered the direct payment of funds to local governments despite Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution, which created the joint account.The local government subcommittee is chaired by Majority Leader Julius Ihonvbere, with Nuhu Jamo serving as consultant.
