A retreat of the members of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution held on 27th and 28th September 2024, in Kano State. The retreat was supported by Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
At the retreat, the Committee members focused on specific areas for the review of the Constitution as follows: State police, local government autonomy, gender inclusion, judicial reform, electoral reform and restructuring/devolution of powers.
The retreat was to drive forward discussions on Constitution alteration bills that failed to pass in previous Assemblies and consider Constitution review proposals contained in memoranda received from the public, to inform the drafting of bills that will be presented to the Senate in the current Constitution review exercise.
