” The public hearings convened to gather citizens’ inputs on the proposed amendments to the country’s constitution were successful, with a massive turnout of all stakeholders across the country. Critical national issues, including local government autonomy, electoral and judicial reforms, state creation, state police and inclusive governance, were all examined. We are not leaving any stone unturned in our quest to address the gaps in our laws for the benefit of all,” the statement reads.
The National Assembly will resume from its annual recess on September 23rd, 2025.
