The House of Representatives will vote on a fresh set of constitutional amendment proposals on December 10 and 11, 2025, as part of the ongoing review of the 1999 Constitution.

The Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, who also chairs the House Committee on Constitution Review, announced the schedule during Tuesday’s plenary.

Kalu informed lawmakers that debates on the amendment bills will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, after which voting will be conducted next week. He disclosed that the review process had surpassed the required technical stage, with harmonised documents being finalised for presentation.

According to him, the committee has completed all technical assessments necessary for the next phase of the exercise and is now preparing the final unified papers for lawmakers’ consideration.

A total of 87 constitutional alteration bills are slated for review. Documents from the committee show that the proposals cover a wide range of issues, including: Electoral reforms, Judicial restructuring, Establishment of State Police, Fiscal and revenue adjustments,

Creation of new states and Strengthening of local government autonomy

The bills also seek to introduce gender-inclusive provisions, expand grassroots governance, and enhance security operations at the state level through new policing frameworks.

The push for state police has intensified in recent months, with several governors advocating decentralised security structures in response to rising insecurity across the country.
