Alxmyr:

House of Rep received the letter the same time senate received the letter from Mr. President.
They can take up the matter any time they wish. It still does not change the fact that the three bills will be consider together or concurrently.
As long as one of the three bill scale through, the remaining will do. Maddibo Univ. of Tech, Michael Okpara Univ. and Mosshood Abiola Uni. the bill for an acts to chage these names will run together. You cannot pass Maddibo Univ. of Tech. without passing MAULAG bill. That is where GEJ knocked out his critics.

Beaf: O ti tan!
Great MAULAGians, go back to school.

MKO has been duly honoured. He was a great man indeed.

~Bluetooth:


We need to watch out for buhari then .

. u are not serious ooo.
But honestly i would have preferred something monumental in Abuja than this for this great man. i hope this wont cause dissafection between MAULAG and MAUPOLY sha

ypzilanti:

He's trying really hard isn't he?

Please he should use that creativity to pass the PIB into law, amend our outdated land use act, and enhance copyright and intellectual property laws in Nigeria. Those are legislations that will put bread and butter on Nigerian's table.

Joblessness.

Alxmyr:

Be informed.
The passage is the amendment to your so-called 'Act establishing Unila'.
And the amendment is a minor amendment to the bill. Its just an amendment in the short title of the bill.
That is where many of you protesting and shouting due process got it all wrong.
In this sort of amendment, there is no public hearing.
Its just one thing that can be done with in just one legislative sitting, except it is not popular with every members.
But unfortunately, most of you undermine the intelligence of GEJ and he beat you all to it by presenting 2 other bills alongside the one of UNILAG.
These two other bills seek the same thing, and they are popular with members.
It will be extremely out of place to pass the other 2 bills without passing the MAULAG bill.
As to the court, the court does not operate on emotion or popular opinion, it operates based on fact of the matter.
Besides, court interpret the law and does not initiate or make a law.
So go back to your school, when you collect your certificate with MAULAG on it, look for a tippex, erase MAULAG and write UNILAG.
Simple as A B C.

Kilode?!:
So how did they vote?

Who voted for and who voted against?

Also, can the Senate by itself amend an act of the national Assembly without a vote by The house of representatives?

I thought Senate + House of Reps = National Assembly, No?





Anyway, for those who are interested, below is the link to vote and proceedings on the HOA site, it has not been updated since February though, maybe we can get some detailed info from reporters covering the house.

Alxmyr:

Unfortunately, he is not the one that will pass these bills you talked about. Get your facts right because you point fingers.

Jobfulness

berem: gbam! end of discussion. MAULAG students should better get their arses back to school before GEJ changes the name of the school again to DANA UNIVERSITY!

onthefence: Without amending the Act establishing Unilag? Now the National Assembly will be joined in the suit at the Fed High Court.

ypzilanti:

Joblessness.

He can send this bill for fast approval, but cannot send a version of PIB, Land Use Act, Copyright and intellectual property?

OK...You need some education I see.

In a presidential system a president must have a Legislative agenda for the year. This means, their are laws he should have singled out that he wishes to be passed that year. He can forward his version to the house of the assembly for debate, or the laws can originate directly from either house. Which ever way, he can use his political capital to make sure that the laws are passed.

Read a book, my brother. It is not literacy that is Nigeria's problem. It is awareness and education that is the major problem.

amefi: Mr Jonathan's govt is tsumnamic to Nigeria and the World at large.

Billyonaire: Federal law supersedes those bylaws

ndu_chucks:

Ah ah, you are expecting too much out of the system. The entire charade was predictable and I'm afraid you'll not find out who voted for or against, any time soon. Sadly, this is the way things work around here.

Mrkuvuki: Most of the students protesting against the name change were less than 5yrs old during june 12...they will never understand
