In a strong show of confidence and leadership recognition, the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has appointed Distinguished Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno, Chief Whip of the 10th Senate, as Co-Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Creation of States and Local Governments under the ongoing Constitution Review exercise.

The appointment, announced during the committee’s inaugural session, underscores the Senate’s trust in Senator Monguno’s experience, balance, and unwavering commitment to national unity and equity.

The creation of states and local governments remains one of the most sensitive and consequential aspects of Nigeria’s constitutional evolution. It demands depth of judgment, fairness, and a broad understanding of the nation’s diversity — qualities that Senator Monguno has consistently demonstrated throughout his distinguished public career.

A lawyer and accomplished legislator, Senator Monguno has earned respect for his intellect, discipline, and humility. From his impactful years in the House of Representatives to his current role as Chief Whip of the Senate and Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, he has remained a stabilizing force within the National Assembly.

Colleagues across party lines describe him as a man of calm authority, principled leadership, and unassailable integrity. His latest appointment is therefore widely viewed as a reflection of his enduring credibility and capacity to handle complex national assignments.

As Co-Chairman of the Committee on State and Local Government Creation, Senator Monguno is expected to provide strategic direction, ensuring that the exercise promotes inclusion, justice, and balanced development across the federation.

In an era where integrity and courage are essential for nation-building, Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno continues to exemplify both — a patriot whose service to the nation inspires confidence in Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

Indeed, his appointment is not merely a recognition of past achievements, but a reaffirmation of trust, leadership, and character at a critical moment in Nigeria’s constitutional journey.
