The Onitsha Branch of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has called for the review of 1999 Constitution of Nigeria to reflect true federalism and give regions room to develop independently.
The Branch Chairman, Mr Ikenna Chibuzor, made the call on Tuesday in Onitsha, Anambra at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Law Week.


Chibuzor said that the present concentration of resources of the country in the Federal Government would not allow for economic growth and development.

He said that concentrating the major revenue sources in the federation account would only make the states lazy as they looked forward to their cuts from the revenue allocation.
The chairman expressed support for President Mohammadu Buhari’s fight against corrupt Judges but said that the rule of law should be followed.
He said the Nigerian Judicial Council (NJC) should be allowed their constitutional duty to punish every judicial officer or else there would be continued desecration of the sanctity of the temple of justice
