The Senate on Tuesday debunked reports on the approval of new states creation.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, made the clarification during plenary in Abuja.

He said although the Senate Committee on Constitution Review has received several proposals on the creation of additional states, none has been approved yet.

Akpabio also revealed that the Senate would hold a special session in honour of the late former President, Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday.

He said the session would touch on the late leader’s legacy and contributions to national development.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC( held a special session in honour of the late Buhari, who died in a London hospital on July 13, last Thursday.

“I have seen over 42 proposals, but not one has gone through full deliberation.

“The process of creating a state is very rigorous and has not been completed in any instance,” the Senate President said.
