The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) now wants counties with tribal names renamed in a bid to achieve the principles of equality and inclusion.

In a proposal which could inform changes of law in naming of the counties, the commission wants geographical locations considered in naming the counties, as opposed to the coining of the names of the dominant tribes.
