KWHA passes Abubakar Sola Saraki University Amendment Bill
The Kwara State House of Assembly yesterday passed Abubakar Sola Saraki University Amendment Bill, 2016 into law.
The bill seeks to include the representative of Ministry of Justice in the Governing Council of Abubakar Sola Saraki University. The bill was passed into law following a thorough deliberation on its principles.
The Speaker, Dr Ali Ahmad later directed the Clerk, Mr Simon Okedare to read the bill for the third time and it was eventually passed into law.
The Leader of the House, Hon Hassan Oyeleke while speaking on principles of the bill before it scaled through second reading, said the bill was very straight forward because it was meant to address an omission in the earlier passed law.
He said the inclusion of legal practitioner in the Governing Council of the university would go a long way in solving any legal issue that may arise.
The Chief Whip of the House, Hon Umar Muhammed Gunu, Hon Mathew Olaitan Babaoye of Irepodun Constituency and Hon Ahmed Ibn Mohammed of Kaiama/Kemanji/Wajibe Constituency said inclusion of a legal practitioner in the governing council of the university which the bill seeks to provide was very necessary.
The House later dissolved itself into the committee of the whole to consider the bill following a motion moved by Oyeleke for the suspension of Order 31 of the House.
The Speaker said a special procedure in line with the rules of the House was adopted in the passage of the bill because it was not a controversial bill.
He said time and cost of conducting public hearing on the bill would also be saved through the adoption of special procedure.Dr Ahmad directed the Clerk to prepare the neat copy of the bill for the governor's assent.
