President Tinubu is reportedly set to approve the creation of a new state in the West.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu is set to endorse the creation of Ijebu State following a crucial meeting with the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.

According to People’s Gazette, the meeting, held on January 5 at Tinubu’s Lagos residence, addressed the long-standing request for Ijebu State to be carved out of Ogun State.

The Awujale explained that Ijebu is the only colonial-era province without statehood.

 

He said the area has the resources to succeed as a state, including industrial estates, a growing airport, and other infrastructure.

The push for the new state gained momentum after Senator Gbenga Daniel of Ogun East introduced a bill to the National Assembly in November 2024.

The bill seeks to amend Nigeria’s constitution to facilitate the creation of Ijebu State.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has advanced the proposal through legislative stages.

However, some persons have criticized the idea, saying the country is facing too many problems, like poverty and high debt.

Others believe the move is political, with hopes that new states would support Tinubu in future elections.

Despite this, supporters argue that Ijebu State can thrive and bring development to the region.

 

Talks are also ongoing about creating other states, like Anioma from Delta, which could increase Nigeria’s states from 36 to 56.
