The National Assembly resolved on Monday that the 1999 Constitution needs some reforms that would enhance the development of the country. The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who addressed journalists at a retreat for the Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Review of the 1999 Constitution held in Lagos, said some of the contentious issues would be reviewed to meet the yearning of the people.
He said the country would be restructured, noting that railways would no longer be in the exclusive list. He said: “We have broken all the issues into specific bills. Between yesterday and today (Monday) we have looked at about 23 separate bills with separate issues.
The idea is to ensure that by the time we vote, each of them succeed or fail on its own. When we conclude the work and send it to the House to approve.
