Constitution Review: Reps Will Accommodate Every Interest – Agbese

Deputy spokesman of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese, has assured Nigerians of inclusive engagement and free participation in the ongoing constitution review process.

Hon. Agbese, who stated this while responding to questions from journalists in his office yesterday, said the Benjamin Kalu-led committee was determined to accommodate all interests in making sure the exercise is wholistic and meets the test of time.

Agbese who is the spokesman of the House Committee on Constitution Review, said the nation would be grateful to the 10th House by the end of the committee’s assignment, adding that the amended version would address many agitations, yearnings and aspirations of the generality of the people of Nigeria.

“We are going to carry everyone along. Aside receiving memoranda from organisations, agencies of government, individuals and various interest groups, another jurisdiction of this committee would be to create a forum for relevant stakeholders and members of the public to make their inputs to the constitution review process, this we shall be doing through public hearing and continuous citizens engagements across the board.”
