The House of Representatives has passed for second reading a bill seeking to alter the 1999 Constitution to create Ibadan State from the present Oyo State.
The proposed legislation, sponsored by Prince Akeem Adeyemi, representing Afijio, Atiba, Oyo East, and Oyo West Federal Constituencies, and six others, also provides that Oyo Town will serve as the capital of the remaining Oyo State, while Ibadan City becomes the capital of the proposed Ibadan State.
Leading the debate, Honourable Adeyemi explained that the creation of Ibadan State would bring governance closer to the people and ensure balanced development within the region.
Ruling on Adeyemi’s motion, Speaker Abbas described the proposal as straightforward and noted that it had the full backing of all members of the Oyo State caucus in the House.
The second reading of the bill comes less than two weeks after the new Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, was crowned, and on the same day, he formally requested from President Bola Tinubu the creation of Ibadan State.

Mexico and Spain have become the first two teams to qualify for the quarter-final stage of the ongoing FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Chile, following the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches early Wednesday morning.
In a dramatic fixture that saw the host nation’s dreams shattered, Mexico thrashed Chile 4–1 in front of a stunned home crowd at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago. The match, played on Tuesday night and extending into the early hours, was a crucial test for both sides — but it was the Mexicans who rose to the occasion.
Mexico’s attacking display was led by Hugo Camberos, who netted twice in the second half, with Tahiel Jiménez and Iker Fimbres also finding the back of the net. Chile managed a consolation goal through Juan Rossel, but by then, the outcome had already been sealed.
The result was a bitter blow for the host nation, whose supporters had hoped for a deep run in the tournament. Despite flashes of quality throughout the group stage, Chile was unable to contain a determined and tactically disciplined Mexican side.
Meanwhile, Spain also secured their place in the last eight with a composed performance in their own Round of 16 clash. Though details of their opponent were not immediately available at press time, Spain’s advancement further solidifies their reputation as youth football powerhouses.
Both teams emerged from Group C, widely regarded as the “Group of Death,” which also featured Brazil and Morocco. While Morocco surprisingly topped the group, Spain and Mexico progressed with strong performances and are now proving their worth in the knockout rounds.
The quarter-final fixtures are expected to be announced later today by FIFA, with fans eager to see whether Mexico and Spain can carry their momentum forward in the tournament.
With the competition intensifying and major footballing nations beginning to assert dominance, the road to the final is wide open — and for the host nation, only questions remain.
