This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.

Good initiative. Please include rural areas explicitly in the implementation plan.
- Zubairu O.Zamfaraoppose
I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.
- Usman A.Cross Riversupport
I support this bill, but please make sure the funding is ring-fenced so it actually reaches the people.
