Following the chaos of the botched IBB–
Shonekan transition and the eventual seizure of power by
Sani Abacha the Plateau political map was to undergo the following changes on 1 October 1996:
- The creation of Nassarawa State out of Plateau State which will comprise most entities that made up Plateau West Senatorial Constituency.
- The creation of the additional Local Government Areas of Riyom from Barkin Ladi, Jos East from Jos North and Mikang from Pankshin in the new Plateau State.
