Can the committee clarify how this interacts with existing legislation on the same subject?

The cost implications have not been explained. Where will the money come from?
- Haruna D.Kebbioppose
This duplicates a mandate that already exists at state level. Please reconsider.
- Peter D.Zamfaraoppose
I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.
- Lanre M.Nasarawasupport
I support this bill, but please make sure the funding is ring-fenced so it actually reaches the people.
