The House of Representatives has passed 42 constitutional amendment bills through second reading, taking bold steps to strengthen accountability and curb corruption in governance.
Among the key proposals is the removal of immunity for the vice president, governors, and their deputies.
The bills also seek to separate the office of the Attorney General from that of the Minister of Justice and grant citizenship rights to spouses of Nigerian women.
Additionally, the House is considering the creation of new states, including Ijebu, Ife Ijesa, Tiga, Orlu, and Etiti.
This latest development follows the passage of 39 amendment bills on Tuesday, bringing the total number that have scaled second reading to 81. Notably, the bills were approved without debate.
