BREAKING: Nigeria’s state-creation battle is heating up as the National Assembly considers dozens of demands for new states across the country.

A staggering 56 requests for new states have reportedly entered the constitutional review process, raising major questions about Nigeria’s political future.

But there is a huge problem: creating a new state is not as simple as passing a bill.

Several constitutional hurdles must be cleared, including support from affected communities, a referendum and approval by the required levels of government and the National Assembly.

So what happens next?

Could President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration influence the direction of the process?

Which proposed states have the strongest chance?

And could the state-creation debate become a major political issue ahead of the 2027 elections?

In this video, we break down the latest developments, the 56 state-creation demands, the constitutional roadblocks, the South-East proposals and the political battle that could determine Nigeria’s next administrative map.

Watch until the end and tell us:

Should Nigeria create more states, or should the government focus on strengthening the existing 36 states?
