I call upon everyone of you to actively participate in the constitutional reform process, to let your voices, ideas and expertise to craft a constitution that reflects the values and aspirations of all Nigerians. As John Marshall, the warm-time American Secretary of State World, said, the people make the Constitution and the people can't un-make it. It is the creation of their will and lives by their will. However, Nigerians have been advised to actively participate in the reform process, either through public consultation, town hall meetings, online or any means of employment available to them. We are reminded of the profound responsibility that rests upon our shoulders as these latest older people. This Committee's task is not just a matter of review, but is a duty to enhance the framework that governs our collective aspirations, rights and duties as citizens of this great country. It is an important opportunity to enforce the periods of democracy, justice and empathy that our nation has all. We will also work studiously and expeditiously to gratify the documents and once they are passed down to the state by the National Assembly. I would also like to especially commend this particular Committee for taking the proactive measure on starting this constitutional review in such a manner in which they have also incorporated the state actors, be it the conference of the speakers of state legislatures and also the executive arm of government at a sub-national level.
