The 10th House of Representatives says the sixth alternation to the 1999 Constitution will be ready in December, 2025.

So far, 40 bills, including the proposed additional seats for women in the parliament, amendment to local government autonomy and state police are before its Special ad hoc committee for consideration.

Since the return of democracy in Nigeria, successive parliaments have prioritised amendment to the 1999 Constitution handed down over by the military government.

In the last exercise executed by the 9th National Assembly, a number of amendments sailed through while others failed to fly.

Another round of alterations to the Constitution is about to begin as the Committee holds its pre-inaugural sitting.

Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, is the Chairman of the Special Ad- hoc committee for the Constitution Review exercise.

He admitted some level of fatigue in the amendment process by some vocal sections of the populace due largely to the twin challenge of insecurity and economic difficulties.

But he said the 10th House is determined to play its own side of the game for an improved Constitution.

Mr Kalu also spoke of some of the significant amendments to the Constitution to include judicial and electoral reforms.

The Committee appealed to all proponents of the bills, particularly the gender related bills that failed to scale through in the last exercise to begin advocacy early.

The special Ad-hoc committee on review of the 1999 constitution promises to partner with relevant government agencies, civil society organisations.
