Fourth Amendment of the 1999 Constitution | Nigeria

Recently, the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the upper chamber (Senate) and the lower chamber (House of Representatives) voted to amend some sections of the 1999 Constitution.
                   
It is noteworthy that the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had earlier undergone three amendments and that the current exercise is the fourth amendment.

The media, in particular The Punch of July 27, 2017 did a good job by giving a synopsis of the over 30 proposed amendments to the Constitution. 

The next step is for the 36 State Houses of Assembly to consider the proposed amendments. For an amendment to sail through for final approval, it must achieve simple majority endorsement in at least two-thirds of the 36 State Houses of Assembly, which is 24.

We believe that each and everyone of us - as patriotic Nigerians - should familiarize ourselves not only with the proposed amendments but with the 1999 Constitution and the three previous alterations to the document which constitute the bedrock of the current exercise. It is by so doing that we will be better informed and empowered to contribute meaningfully to public affairs that have constitutional implications.
