In continuation of the Constitutional Amendment Public Hearing in Lagos, the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate was notably present as a key member of the Senate leadership and the Constitution Review Committee. His attendance underscored the bipartisan commitment to the review process. The hearing, held in Lagos for the South-West zone, aimed to gather public input on crucial issues such as local government autonomy, state police, electoral and judicial reforms, and state creation.
The public hearing contributes to the extensive memoranda and proposals already received by the Senate Committee. These will be reviewed and drafted into bills for further legislative action. The public input, including the contributions, will be instrumental in shaping the final amendments presented to the National Assembly for consideration. The presence and active participation of the Deputy Minority Leader signify the broad political will to undertake a comprehensive and inclusive constitutional review.
The Deputy Minority Leader, in his remarks, reiterated the Senate's dedication to reflecting the will of the Nigerian people in the amended constitution. He emphasized that the diverse perspectives gathered from the public hearings are invaluable and will ensure that the constitutional reforms address the pressing needs and aspirations of all citizens across different geopolitical zones. His engagement served as a testament to the collaborative spirit essential for a successful and widely accepted constitutional overhaul.
