A bill seeking the establishment of the North West Development Commission has been formally introduced in the Senate.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Jibrin Barau (APC-Kano North), was read for the first time at plenary presided over by Deputy President of the Senate, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, on Thursday.

It is titled, “North West Development Commission (Establishment, etc) Bill, 2018 (SB. 712)”.

The move came barely 24 hours after the Senate passed the South East Development Commission Bill 2018.

If passed by the Senate and signed into law, along with the South East Development Commission Bill, this would bring to four the number of regional interventionist agencies in the country.

Already in existence are the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the North East Development Commission (NEDC), whose establishment bill received presidential assent in October, 2017.

Four other bills passed second reading on the floor of the Senate on Thursday.

One of them is a Bill for an Act to repeal the Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Act and enact the Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards Act.

Sponsored by Sen. Donald Alasoadura (APC-Ondo Central), the Bill also seeks to re-establish the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority.

Also read for the second time was a Bill for an Act to establish the Federal Capital Territory Health Insurance Agency.

The Bill, which is sponsored by Sen. Philip Aduda (PDP-FCT), is also proposing the institution of the Federal Capital Territory insurance Scheme for all residents of the FCT.

Others are the Federal University, Uga, Anambra Establishment Bill 2018, sponsored by Sen. Andy Uba (APC-Anambra Central), and the FCT Health Care Board Establishment Bill 2018 sponsored by Aduda. (NAN)

They had better established one for the SW and SS to complete the duplicative mix. Confused policy makers and leaders.

Wasteful lots.

Jokers!

If They Are Tired Of This Country, Let Them Just Divide It, Abeg!

More metoo commissions on the way. The lagos special status bill comes to mind. They should focus on legislating better economic policies instead of top down commissions.

• NHIS exist why do FCT residents need special health insurance company.

• More universities they dont plan on funding.

Which national cake?
Who's producing or making the cake?

You all are opening your mouths to drink the crude and waste it on frivolous activities but will never contribute anything to the nation from the resources you have.


SS is really the cash cow for the nation and all zones are ripping and shortchanging them off.
