The North-West geopolitical zone in the Senate has fixed July 18 and 19 for the zone’s public hearing on constitution review exercise.

Deputy president of the Senate Jibrin Barau, who presided over the plenary session, announced the new dates in Abuja.

The zonal public hearings for the exercise were held earlier in July across the five geo-political zones.

However, that of the North-West was postponed by the upper chamber in honour of the late elder statesman and philanthropist, Aminu Dantata, who passed away in Saudi Arabia.

Mr Barau urged all senators across the 21 senatorial districts in the zone to attend the zonal public hearing and facilitate the attendance of their constituents during the exercise.

The senator said, “I urge all senators from the zone to facilitate the attendance of people for inputs into the very important exercise.”

Mr Barau, who chairs the Senate committee on constitutional review, also urged all concerned Nigerians in the zone to submit their memoranda on areas of amendments they want in the constitution.
