The 6th Assembly of Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall ratified seven hall residents as members of the Constitution Review Committee on Sunday, November 24, during an emergency sitting.
Speaking with ZikPress, Rt. Hon. Adetunji emphasized the archaic nature of the existing constitution and the urgent need for its review. “As we all know, the constitution is supreme. The last time the Zik Hall constitution was reviewed was in 2018, and much has changed since then. The current constitution lacks detailed provisions for certain situations in the hall, which has occasionally resulted in conflicting interpretations and interests,” he explained.
Rt. Hon. Adetunji further noted the absence of an Electoral Act in the current constitution, a significant shortcoming that the committee intends to address.
The ratified Constitution Review Committee, chaired by Onadele Joshua, a 400-level law student, comprises the following members:
- Onadele Joshua (Chair)
- Oyedeji Tomilayo
- Atanda Clinton
- Safiu Bamgboye Isaac
- Adebare Mubarak
- Hon. Ojile Moses
- Olasupo Akorede
Joshua Onadele assured the assembly that key issues, including the lack of an Electoral Act, would be addresed in the revised constitution. He also promised that the updated constitution would be finalized before the next Zik Hall election.
