The House of Representatives has fixed June 1 and 2, 2021 for its zonal public hearings on the review of the 1999 Constitution.
The Deputy Speaker of the House and Chairman of the committee, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase in a statement issued yesterday, said the hearing was scheduled to take place across the six geopolitical zones, adding that each zone would have two centres.
According to Wase, North central zone public hearings will hold in Lokoja, with Kogi, Niger and Kwara states in attendance while Jos will serve as the second centre, with Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa states and FCT.
He said members of the committee will be posted outside their zones to “have a feeling of what is obtainable in other geopolitical zones”.
“We have an opportunity to write our names in gold. Let us not waste this golden opportunity as all eyes are on us. We must ensure that we do not betrayed the confidence Nigerians have in us.”
