RMAFC chairman, Elias Mba, submitted the recommendation to President Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja on Thursday.

Buhari said he would have immediately forwarded the recommendation to the national assembly for consideration but would await the outcome of the ongoing review of the constitutional amendment bill.

According to Buhari, some of the recommendations in the report may be affected by the outcome of the constitutional review.
