These include establishing local administrations driven by community consensus, advancing the federalization process, and deepening social reconciliation.
Moving forward, the Ministry declared its firm commitment to the immediate implementation of the constitution’s provisions. By enforcing these newly ratified constitutional directives, the Federal Government aims to accelerate the construction of a highly unified, resilient, and enduring state apparatus capable of delivering long-term stability.
