<p>Almost 35 years after the creation of the present Jigawa State from the old Kano State, agitation for the creation of Hadejia State resurfaced at the ongoing hearing on constitutional review for the Northwest Zone, held in Kano and led by Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau I. Jibrin.</p>
<p>Representatives advocating for the creation of Hadejia State from the present Jigawa State presented their proposal during the ongoing submission for the amendment of the 1999 Constitution.</p><div class="lsmO3QOk" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In 1991, when the administration of former President Ibrahim Babangida created new states, Hadejia State was proposed from the old Kano State. However, when General Babangida announced the new states, Jigawa State was created instead with its capital in Dutse.</p>

<p>Katsina State representatives also submitted proposals for the creation of Bayajidda and Karaduwa States from the present Katsina State.</p>

<p>Additionally, the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) presented a proposal for the creation of Gurara State from the present Kaduna State.</p>
<p>Another proposal from Kano State included the creation of Ghari and Tiga States from the present Kano State.</p>
<p>If these agitations succeed, the Northwest geopolitical zone currently comprising seven states could have six additional states, bringing the total to thirteen.</p>
<p>Deputy Senate President Barau I. Jibrin asked those proposing the creation of Ghari and other states to raise their hands. They were then invited to stand before the podium and make their presentations.</p>
<p>In another development, representatives of Katsina State at the ongoing constitution review backed the idea of establishing a traditional council in the proposed amended constitution.</p>
<p>The head of the Katsina State delegation, Senator Ibrahim Ida, stated this while addressing Northwest stakeholders during the constitutional review session held at Bristol Palace in Kano.</p>
<p>The public hearing on the proposed constitutional amendment drew representatives from the seven Northwest states: Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, Kebbi, Jigawa, and Sokoto.</p>
