Leadership | 15-05-2026 06:17pm |

Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has proposed legislation to provide legal backing for the zoning of political offices within the state. The Governor emphasized that individuals who have benefited from the state's zoning arrangements should be limited to a maximum of eight years in elective positions. This initiative aims to prevent individuals who have served more than two terms in the state and national assemblies from continuing in office, thereby allowing opportunities for other local candidates. The proposal is part of the Governor's broader strategy to enhance political inclusivity and representation in Niger State.
