The committee comprises of a senator from each of the 36 states of the federation and two senators each from the six geopolitical zones. The committee is expected to amend the 1999 constitution after adopting various inputs from a wide spectrum of stakeholders in the country.

Senator Omo-Agege, while announcing that his committee has received a memoranda from the Sultan of Sokoto and other top traditional rulers on the constitution review tweeted: “Courtesy visit by Top Traditional Rulers led by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Alh. (Dr.) Muhammad Sa’ad Abubaker CFR. On the occasion of the presentation of Memoranda to the Committee on Review of the 1999 Constitution.”
