According to the Committee, the people of Bauchi State strongly believe that the content and character of the 1999 Constitution have been deterring the growth and development of Nigeria as a nation due to lack of public representation as such, they are clamouring for a fresh, people-driven constitution to drive democracy and good governance for the betterment of the Country.

In his response, the Speaker commended the Committee for doing a wonderful job and said that their work is exemplary because they were able to carry out the public hearing in all three Senatorial Districts of the State.
