The House of Representatives has proposed a constitutional change that would reserve 5% of seats for people with disabilities (PWDs) and 10% of seats for women in the National Assembly.
According to the idea, 83 new seats would be reserved for women only. Of these, 55 would be added to the House of Representatives, boosting its membership from 360 to 415, and 28 would be added to the Senate, increasing the National Assembly’s total number of seats from 469 to 552.
At the official commencement of the 2025 National Assembly Open Week and the launch of the 10th House Midterm Legislative Scorecard in Abuja on Tuesday, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas announced the plan.
In order to guarantee gender and disability inclusion, he added, the draft amendment aims to include the quotas into the Constitution. He also stated that these reserved seats would be filled by direct elections with separate ballots, and they would be divided by state to maintain regional balance.
Five percent of the current seats would be set aside for people with disabilities, the Speaker said, and candidates would be chosen by recognized disability advocacy groups.
“The creation of constitutionally guaranteed reserved seats for women and people with disabilities is a key component of our inclusive governance proposals,” Abbas stated. Ten percent (10%) of Senate and House of Representatives seats would be reserved for women under the proposed amendment, with the allocation of seats by state to maintain regional parity.
“To encourage continuity and mentoring, these seats would be filled by direct elections on different ballots, with staggered periods. Candidates nominated by recognized disability advocacy organizations would compete for the 5% of seats allotted for people with disabilities. The full integration of reserved-seat representatives into legislative action would be reinforced by their sharing of the same rights, privileges, and committee assignments as their peers.

Women held less than 1% of parliamentary seats in 1960, the year of independence. It has barely increased to 2% by 1990. In 1999, women made up only 3.9% of the House and 4% of the Senate. Even though women make over half of the population, their representation is still unchanged today.
The Speaker cited international instances, such as Rwanda and Senegal, where constitutional quotas increased the proportion of women in parliament from less than 5% to more than 30% in a single election cycle.
