The National Assembly Joint Committee on Constitution Review on Monday moved closer to meeting its December 2025 deadline as members convened in Abuja to firm up the final draft of proposed amendments to the 1999 Constitution.
Lawmakers are expected to vote in the coming weeks on critical areas identified by Nigerians during earlier consultations, including power devolution, fiscal federalism, electoral reforms, state police, and reserved seats for women.
According to committee leaders, the process has now entered its concluding phase with no further submissions to be entertained.
The Senate Deputy President and Chairman of the Constitution Review Committee, Senator Barau Jibrin, said the meeting signalled the completion of the committee’s assignment ahead of the voting stage.
