The House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review has proposed the creation of 31 new states across Nigeria, which, if approved, would increase the number of states from 36 to 67.

The committee, chaired by Kalu, outlined the distribution of the proposed states, with six in the North Central, four in the North East, five in the North West, five in the South East, four in the South-South, and seven in the South West.
