In a significant development, a bill seeking to create Orlu State from parts of Imo, Anambra, and Abia states has passed its first reading at the House of Representatives. The proposed state will comprise 28 local government areas, with Orlu as its capital city.
The bill, sponsored by Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere and others, aims to increase the number of states in the Southeast region, aligning with the country's geopolitical zone structure. If successful, Orlu State will become the 37th state in Nigeria.
The creation of Orlu State is expected to have significant political and economic implications for the region. Imo State, in particular, will be affected, as it will lose a substantial portion of its landmass and population.
