As the ongoing public hearing on the amendment of the 1999 Constitution opened in Port Harcourt, Thursday, Rivers and Akwa Ibom State governments have demanded that the constitution be reviewed to reflect the wishes of the Nigerian people.
They also demanded that devolution of more powers to the state be included in the constitution, arguing that too many powers reside with the centre to the detriment of the states and the general development of the country.
The Attorneys General and Commissioners of Justice of the two states, Zacheaus Adango for Rivers and Uko Idong of Akwa Ibom respectively made the presentation at the South-South zone of the Public Hearing which was held in Port Harcourt.
