A bill seeking the creation of Tiga State from the current Kano State is ready for presentation at the Senate.

Daily Trust reports that Kano State has 44 local government areas and is one of the states with the highest voting population in the country.

Our correspondent reports that the bill was to be introduced on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday for first reading, but the Senate had adjourned plenary in honour of a member of the House of Representatives Hon. Olaide Adewale Akinremi, who died at the age of 51.

The bill was listed on the Order Paper of Wednesday before plenary was adjourned to Thursday following the lawmaker’s death.

Kano is located in Nigeria’s North West; the geo-political zone that already has the highest number of states.

The North East, North Central, South South and South West geo-political zones all have 6 states each, the South East has 5 states, while the North West has 7 states.

Daily Trust reports that there are also agitations for the creation of one additional state in the South East region.
