A proposal for the establishment of three new states in the South-West has been scheduled for introduction in the House of Representatives.
Sponsored by the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Osun State, Oluwole Oke.
The suggested legislation aims to establish separate states namely Oke-Ogun, Ijebu, and Ife-Ijesa.
The suggested legislation is named "A Bill for an Act to modify the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as revised)".
The proposed idea is to make changes to the First Schedule, Part I of the Constitution. The suggested amendment involves adding new states and decreasing the number of local government areas.
According to the proposed bill, the region of Oke-Ogun State, with Iseyin as its capital city, would consist of a total of 12 local government areas, including Olorunsogo, Irepo, Oorerelope, Ogbomosho North, Ogbomosho South, Saki-East, Saki-West, Atisbo, Itesiwaju, Iwajowa, Kajola, and Iseyin.
Ijebu State, When formed, it will consist of Ijebu East, Ijebu North-East, Ijebu Ode, Ikenne, Odogbolu, Ogun Waterside, Remo North and Sagamu LGAs. The proposed capital city for Ijebu State is Ijebu Ode.
Ife Ijesa State is to be made of 11 LGAs made up of Atakunmosa East, Atakunmosa West, Boluwaduro, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ife South, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Oboku and Oriade.
On February 6, 2024, in a letter directed to the Clerk of the House, Oke expressed: “I wish to forward the abovementioned bill to your office for further necessary legislative action to enable me to move same in our great Green Chamber, sir.”
The South-West region in Nigeria comprises of six states, namely Ondo, Oyo, Lagos, Ogun, Osun, and Ekiti states.

Indeed, you've no learnt as much.
First mistake you made was to let him know that you left your bf for him.
Infact, you were cheating on your bf with him.
Most men will never take you seriously for that.
You're his NYSC gf.
If you doubt me, wait until you finish NYSC.
End.
In 1959, the popular Lafenwa bridge was opened in Abeokuta by the Minister for Works & Survey Alhaji Inua Wada. The bridge was valued at £252,000 pounds.
PRESIDENT TINUBU, then Aspirant Tinubu didn't just go to Abeokuta to make his famous "Emi L'okan" declaration, that shook Egbaland, Ogun State, Nigeria and everywhere.
Just see the design on the fila (Cap) of late Oba Sir Ladapo ADEMOLA in 1959. Tinubu's inspiration has an Egba background 🇳🇬
