 The topic of state creation is causing a stare in Nigeria. While bills have been submitted in support of new states, some analysts draw attention to the question of viability of the existing states. Plus TV Africa's correspondent Annetta Felix has details. This is a list of the new states that might be created in Nigeria. Spokesman of the Senate, Ajib Bola Bashiru, says that members of the committee on the review of the 1999 constitution received several bills proposing the creation of the new states. In his analysis of the news, Achike Choudi believes that sponsors of the bill do not mean well for Nigeria. He adds that the move exposes the lack of political inclusion in the country. Choudi also counts the cost of creating new states and the economic burden on the government and the people. The Senate spokesman says the committee had referred to the request received through the Independent National Electoral Commission. INEC would now conduct a referendum if the requests are supported by at least two-thirds majority of members representing the area demanding the creation of the new state, both at the national and state assemblies.
