In this report, OrderPaper’s Sharon Eboesomi gives a breakdown on the Federal Constituencies and Senatorial Districts under the Nigerian National Assembly.
The National Assembly (NASS) is the democratically-elected body that represents the interests of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its people, makes laws and holds the Government to account.
According to Sections 47-49 of the 1999 Constitution: “There shall be a National Assembly (NASS) for the federation which shall consist of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives.”
The Senate popularly known as the Red Chamber is made up of 109 elected Distinguished Senators representing 109 Senatorial Districts. The House of Representatives also known as the Green Chamber is made up of 360 Members representing each of the Federal Constituencies of the country. The Senators and Representatives in the House are duly elected for a term of four years in the National Assembly.
While the formation of the Red Chamber is based on three Senatorial Districts per State and one for the Federal Capital Territory, the Green Chamber varies depending on the number of Federal Constituencies per state.
