- Bukola A.Abianeutral
Can the committee clarify how this interacts with existing legislation on the same subject?
- Zubairu I.Nasarawaoppose
This duplicates a mandate that already exists at state level. Please reconsider.
- Efe F.Kanooppose
The cost implications have not been explained. Where will the money come from?
- Daniella E.Ebonyisupport
This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.
- Uche O.Bayelsaoppose
I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.
- Danladi I.Jigawaneutral
Please publish the committee report when it is laid so the public can read it.
