The committee was inaugurated on March 25, 2025.
The submission took place on Wednesday in Asaba, where Onyeme thanked the committee for carrying out a detailed work.

Adamawa Govt moves against land racketeers
The Adamawa State Government has stepped up efforts to curtail land racketeering in the state.
Getting a land for building especially in Yola and urban centers of the state has long been a nightmare for many, as plots of land are often sold to one or more other buyers.
The situation has forced many innocent buyers to engage in unending war over land ownership when they should be putting up their buildings.
The Commissioner of Land and Survey, Chief Joan Sahma who spoke on the matter on Wednesday, said he was appointed with a brief to tackle the problem and he has done much in that direction.
The commissioner gave some details to members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Adamawa Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, who paid him a visit.
He said, “The issue of duplication of land ownership is being radically addressed. The governor has given me full powers to bring all land racketeers to order. Only this past month, we picked up a legal practitioner; a lawyer for that matter! We found him cloning our files. I said this is the type of people we must stop.
“So many of such people are now in jail. This is what the governor insist we must do, to sanitize the system and make land available to land seekers who can acquire land and be sure that the land is truly their own.”
According to him, the government is similarly reforming the process for resolution of genuine disagreements.
“We have constituted a unit for conflict resolution. We advise people to withdraw their cases from courts because it’s not court that gave them land. We want to settle land issues amicably without recourse to court prosecution,” he added.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Nigerians that it will continue to deepen its collaboration with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to ensure that citizens can vote wherever they are rather than where they register in the future.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja during a courtesy call by the Director General of the NIMC, Mr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote.
He said under his leadership, INEC has engaged with NIMC at different times with the intention of solidifying its partnership in the area of identity management.
Yakubu stated: “As is well known, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) holds the database of citizens for the purpose of elections, while NIMC has the record of citizens generally. Together, our two agencies hold the largest biometric databases of citizens in Nigeria.
“Since the ultimate goal is to enroll every citizen with NIMC, we look forward to the day when your database will serve as the single source of truth for citizenship identification in Nigeria.
“When the time comes, the national register of voters may simply draw from the citizenship register as is the case in many jurisdictions around the world.
“This may also enable citizens to vote in future elections from their places of choice anywhere in the country rather than the places they register as voters as is the case at present. To achieve this long-term goal, we will continue to deepen our collaboration with NIMC.”
The chairman stressed that it was in furtherance of this collaboration that NIMC deployed its officials in some of its registration centres during the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
Yakubu noted that the idea was to provide more Nigerians who are yet to enroll for the National Identification Number (NIN) the opportunity to do so.
Working with NIMC, Yakubu stressed that the commission carried out a pilot during the recent CVR in Anambra State from 8th to 20th July 2025.
He said: “We are now set to scale it up nationwide. Citizens will therefore have the opportunity to register as voters while simultaneously registering for the NIN.
“In due course, NIMC will provide details of the locations of our CVR centres where it will deploy its officials and also provide the modalities for the NIN registration.
“We welcome this partnership with NIMC, which is in keeping with our commitment to synergise with every national institution to strengthen electoral activities in Nigeria.”

Nigerian Govt reaffirms commitment to defeat terrorism in West Africa, Sahel
The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying the fight against terrorism in West Africa and the Sahel, pledging stronger collaboration with regional partners to restore peace and security across the region.
Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, made the pledge on Wednesday, according to a statement released by his spokesman, Mati Ali.
According to the statement, the minister spoke at the opening of the Regional Conference on Combating Emerging Terrorist Groups and Strengthening Sustainable Security, held at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja.
He warned that “terrorism, insurgency and insecurity are existential challenges that endanger our people, our economies, and our shared future”.
Badaru Abubakar placed Nigeria’s assurances at the centre of the discussion, aligning them with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises peace as the cornerstone of prosperity.
“The Federal Government set three priorities including integrating intelligence across the region through real-time fusion and technology to track and disrupt terror networks, the institutionalisation of joint military operations with renewed push for the full operationalisation of the ECOWAS Standby Force and harmonized legal frameworks that leave no safe havens for extremists as well as tackling the root causes of radicalization by investing in education, youth empowerment, community resilience and accountable governance,” he said.
The minister added that Nigeria has positioned itself within the wider geopolitical space, stressing that regional security requires a balance of African resolve and international solidarity.
He added that the Armed Forces of Nigeria have recorded significant progress by dismantled multiple terrorists/criminal strongholds, prompting thousands of surrenders.
“Operation Safe Corridor is advancing rehabilitation and reintegration to reduce the cycle of violence and help communities heal. Nigeria supports the Multinational Joint Task Force in the Lake Chad Basin. Nigeria also upholds the Yaoundé Code of Conduct to secure land and maritime domains.”
Badaru Abubakar explained that these initiatives demonstrate how military strength, diplomacy, and community-based solutions can complement one another and serve as models for the ECOWAS region.
He thanked the United Nations, African Union, European Union, and other international partners for their continuous support, which strengthened regional capacity.
The minister urged the partners to invest in intelligence fusion platforms, provide technical support for the ECOWAS Standby Force, and fund socio-economic programmes that block extremist recruitment pipelines.
