Claim:

A trending WhatsApp message claimed that the federal government of Nigeria has resolved to restructuring with 4 new Federal Territory, 7 geopolitical zones, 53 States, 1010 LGAs and 10,100 wards.

Verdict: Misleading and fake old news

The trending WhatsApp message is fake and misleading old news. It trended  even during the time of former President Muhammadu Buhari. But various checks ran on Google Search, including most of  the Nigeria’s owned media, State House (official website dedicated for publication of activities of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu)  and National Assembly did not show positive reports.
