The speakers of the houses of assembly are asking for the introduction of devolution of powers in the next round of constitution amendment.
In 2017, the senate rejected a proposal for devolution of power.
Speaking on Thursday when lawmakers from state assemblies visited the national assembly, Abdulmumin Kamba, chairman of the speakers of houses of assembly, appealed to the federal lawmakers to reconsider their decision on the devolution of power.
Kamba, who is speaker of the Kebbi state house of assembly, presented the constitutional amendments of state assemblies to Senate President Bukola Saraki o Thursday.
“The procedure of amending the constitution has more to do with the legislative than the executive,” Kamba said.
“The devolution of power was part of the amendment which has been seriously condemned, it’s our hope that we bring back the devolution of powers.”
