Five Members of the House of Representatives, Amobi Ogah, Miriam Onuoha, Kama Nkemkama, Chinwe Nnabuife and Anayo Onwuegbu, has sponsored a bill seeking for the creation of Etiti State in the South-East Geo-political Zone.

This was read for the first time on the floor of the House of Representatives during plenary on Tuesday

The proposed State is to be created out of the present Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states

When created, Etiti State will have 11 Local Government’ Areas drawn from the five states with the Capital to be located at Lokpanta.

The bill is seeking to alter three sections of the 1999 constitution, to delete the word 36 and replacing it with the word 37 to accommodate the new State and to insert the word Etiti, immediately after Enugu in the list of States contained in the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

The Local Government to be affected if the State is created are Isuikwuato and Umu-Nneochi (Abia), Orumba North and Orumba South (Anambra), Ivo and Ohaozara (Ebonyi), Aninri, Awgu and Oji River (Enugu) as well as Okigwe and Onuimo (Imo).
