Yesterday, I arrived in Kano for the 3-day retreat of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution. This review is long overdue, and I am honored to be part of the select few entrusted with this critical task. It is something I’ve been looking forward to, especially as I’ve submitted six bills for recommendation. These include:
A bill for an act to alter the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Cap. C23 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 for the creation of Anioma State and for matters connected therewith.
A bill for an act to establish the National Talent, Rehabilitation and Integration Agency, and for related matters.
A bill for an act to alter the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, No. 7, to prohibit the discriminatory use of foreign currency payment for remuneration and for matters connected therewith.
A bill for an act to alter the Electoral Act, 2022 (as altered) to provide for the issuance of permanent voter card at the point of registration and for related matters.
A bill for an act to alter the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to provide for the mandatory first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), automated external defibrillator (AED) training at homes, schools, institutions and offices, and the adoption of the Good Samaritan Laws and matters connected therewith, 2024.
A bill for an act to alter the 1999 constitution (as altered) to provide for diaspora voting and for related matters.
