MATTER OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE
1. Rep. Dozie Nwankwo moved a motion on the need to protect the people of the South East region of Nigeria from the rising incidents of insecurity, especially as the 2023 elections draw near and it was seconded by Rep. Jerry Alabgaoso.
Rep. Nwankwo in leading the debate stated that the recent spate of continuous insecurity in the Southeastern region of Nigeria is a major concern that calls for special security measure to be put in place for the protection of Nigerians resident in the region. This he stated is to ensure they are able to fully participate and exercise their rights in the upcoming 2023 general elections. He bemoaned the amounts of funds and efforts seemingly invested in security in the bid to ridding the Southeast of violent unwholesome elements, with little to show as results. Rep. Nwankwo urged the Federal government to ensure the disarming of unlicensed non-State actors/persons carrying firearms and causing mayhem in the Southeast. He also called on the heads of security agencies to work in synergy with local security formations in a bid to ensure the situation of insecurity is contained. He further called on the House Committee on Information and Orientation to ensure the relevant agencies of government provide adequate public sensitization for the need for peace in the Southeast and report progress back to the House.
The motion was voted on and adopted.

Aishatu J. Dukku, Rep. Francis Charles Uduyok, and Rep. O. K. Chinda) – Second Reading.
Debate
Rep. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa who was supposed to move for the second reading of the Bill pointed out that he was not consulted about it being incorporated to move for the second reading of the Bill.
Rep. John Dyegh also made a complaint that he had sponsored a similar Bill which went through the due process in the previous Assembly, but it didn’t receive Presidential assent. Rep. Dyegh stated that he then cleaned up the Bill and re-introduced it in the present Assembly, but it seems to have been stood down without reason.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Ahmed Wase and the Chief Whip, Rep. Mohammed Monguno wondered why Rep. John Dyegh did not raise the issue that the Bill he sponsored was missing when the listed Bills came up for consolidation earlier. They called on him not to hinder the due legislative process.
The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila reminded members that in this, as in all cases; Justice should not only be done, but be seen to be done. And if in truth Rep. John Dyegh has a similar Bill it will be unfair to leave him out of the process after putting in so much work into the legislative process.
The second reading of the Bill was stepped down till Tuesday to ensure equity to Rep. John Dyegh if indeed his Bill truly has the same subject matter.

Olalekan Rasheed Afolabi and Rep. Benjamin O. Kalu) – Second Reading.
Debate
Rep. Benjamin Kalu called for the stepping down of the Bill as he brought the Bill first and should be the lead sponsor and not the co-sponsor. He stated that the Bill he sponsored is numbered HB. 188 while Rep. Olalekan Afolabi’s is HB. 1386 and still the Order paper shows Rep. Afolabi as the sponsor of the Bill which should not be.
The Bill was then stepped down by leave of the House for the necessary corrections to be effected.

MOTIONS
7. Need to Construct Yahe-Wanokom-Wanikade-Wanihem-Benue Border Road and Mbube East 1 and 2 Cross River State:
Rep. Jude Ogbeche Ngaji:
The House:
Notes that Cross River State has an enviable history of tourist attraction in Nigeria, yet poor rural roads have resulted in exorbitant vehicle operating costs and unquantifiable travel times;
Also notes that ten years after the Cross River State Government and the African Development Bank (AFDB) jointly awarded the Yahe-Wanokom-Wanikade-Benue border road for construction under the Cross River Rural Access and Mobility Project (CR-RAMP), the project was abandoned, while the supposed beneficiaries continue to suffer loss of livelihood and properties as well as increasing poverty due to the deplorable state of the road;
Concerned that due to its deplorable state, commuting on the road which cuts across North and South Ukelle in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State is a hellish experience with outrageous fares for the commuters;
Worried that the dilapidated state of the road has caused untold hardship to the people of the surrounding communities as access to markets outside the state, including neighbouring Benue and Ebonyi states, especially in the rainy season, has become impossible because many parts of the road have been cut off by gully erosion;
Resolves to:
(i) Urge the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to commence reconstruction of the Road Network from Yahe-Wanokom-Wanikade-Wanihem-Benue Border Road and Mbube East I & II to the Boundaries of Obudu in Cross River State;
(ii) mandate the Committee on Works to ensure compliance.
Debate
Rep. Jude Ngaji moved the motion on the need to construct Yahe-Wanokom-Wanikade-Wanihem-Benue border road and Mbube East 1 and 2 Cross River state.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Ahmed Idris Wase proposed an amendment to incorporate the House Committee on Appropriations and that on Legislative Compliance to the referral for the speedy execution required.
The motion was voted on and adopted as amended.
8. Need for Gaming Operators to Integrate National Identity Number (NIN) for Verification and Identification of Customers:
Rep. Ibrahim A. Isiaka:
The House:
Notes that the global gaming market is undoubtedly a huge one estimated to generate between $400 to $500 billion yearly and with the consistency of the current trends, by 2022, it is set to be worth around $565 billion with increasing amounts of revenues coming from online gaming in its many forms;
Disturbed that when such large amounts of money are exchanged and transacted quickly through relatively anonymous interactions, there is a significant risk that criminals will be tempted to use the situation for money laundering;
Mindful that with age-restricted businesses like casinos and online gaming platforms, the critical barrier to entry for customers is age and identity verification, therefore there is an increased need for such verifications in virtual situations in order to secure both the customers and the operators;
Cognizant that one of the basic purposes of the National identity Number is for identification, as it not only serves to identify the individual holder but also curbs duplication of identities;
Convinced that it is imperative for regulators to place a premium on data security of gamers and gaming operators and one readily available way to achieve this is to integrate the National identity Numbers (NIN) into the data collection of both new and existing customers;
Resolves to:
(i) Urge the National Lottery Regulatory Commission to ensure that all Gaming operators in Nigeria integrate the National Identity (NIN) in their data collection;
(ii) mandate the Committee on Governmental Affairs to ensure compliance.
Debate
Rep. Ibrahim Isiaka moved the motion on the need for gaming operators to integrate National Identity Number (NIN) for verification and identification of customers and it was seconded by Rep. Ifeanyi Momah.
The motion was voted on and adopted.
9. Need to Investigate the Total Consolidation Accrual and Utilization of Ecological Fund:
Rep. Femi Bamisile:
The House:
Notes the existence of the Ecological Fund as Intervention Fund set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to address multifarious ecological challenges across the country;
Also notes that the Federal Government, the thirty-six (36) States of the federation, the 774 Local Government Areas and the Federal Capital Territory receive funds through the Federal Allocation Committee (FAC) as shares from the Ecological Fund;
Aware that apart from the annual statutory Appropriations four Agencies of the Federal Government draw Funds from the 1% Share of the Federal Government allocated to Ecology and Derivation Fund according to their respective enabling laws and the Agencies are; the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) by virtue of Section 13(2) (b) of its Act, draws 20%, National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW) by virtue of Section 12 (2) (b) of its Act, draws 15%. While the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) by virtue of Section 14(12) (b) of its Act, draws 10% and the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) by virtue of Section 18 (2) (a) of its Act, draws 10%;
Worried that efforts at making beneficiaries of the Ecological Fund accountable for their accrued shared funds in the last few years have been ignored;
Cognizance of Sections 88 and 89 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) which empowers the National Assembly to conduct investigation and power as to matters of evidence;
Resolves to:
(i) Mandate the Committee on Ecological Fund to Investigate the total consolidated mandatory accruals into the Ecological Fund from 2010 to March 2022;
(ii) evaluate the disbursement of the Ecological Fund in line with the provision of the 1999 Constitution from 2010 to March 2022;
(iii) investigate the utilization of the Ecological Fund by benefiting Governments Departments and Agencies (MDAs) from 2010 to March 2022 and establish infractions (if any);
(iv) conduct Public Hearings with all major stakeholders on the effective and efficient utilization of the Ecological Fund and report back within six (6) weeks for further legislative action.
Debate
Rep. Femi Bamisile moved the motion on the need to investigate the total consolidation accrual and utilization of ecological fund and it was seconded by Rep. Akin Alabi. Rep.
Nicholas Ossai stated that there is the need to investigate the Ecological Fund due to the perceived misuse of the fund and its seeming diversion to other uses in contradiction of laid down rules, as these are clear infractions of Appropriation Laws.
Rep. Sergius Ogun praised the leadership of the House for making the Ecological Fund a Standing Committee of the House. This he stated is vital to the effective oversight by the Committee on the application of the ecological fund which has been abused after being budgeted on for serious ecological issues.
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Ahmed Idris called on the House Committee on Ecological Fund to do a thorough investigative job because the funds have been abused for many years. He stated that the funds which should have been utilized to avert physical and natural disasters nationwide is being trivialized at the expense of ecological and disaster preparedness.
The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila reiterated the need for the Committee to work hard to ensure the funds are judicially administered.
The motion was voted on and adopted.
10. Need to Address the Deteriorating Working Conditions of Judicial Officers:
Rep. Onofiok Akpan Luke:
The House:
Notes the various news reports of the letter written by the Honourable Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria complaining about the poor welfare conditions and the operational challenges facing the apex court;
Also notes that the letter specifically complained about lack of accommodation for newly appointed Justices of the Supreme Court, epileptic power supply to the courts and the justices’ residence, lack of internet services, lack of training and workshops, non-provision of legal assistants to the justices, poor healthcare delivery and unavailability of drugs at the court’s clinic, and other operational challenges, which have negatively impacted on the performance of judicial functions thus, delaying justice delivery with its attendant effect on the maintenance of law and order in the country;
Further notes that the issues raised are as a result of the persistent underfunding of the judiciary despite its increasing workforce and growing responsibilities, as well as inflationary conditions in Nigeria;
Aware that the remuneration of judicial officers was last reviewed in 2008 by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) when the official exchange rate was N117.74 to $1 whereas the naira has considerably depreciated;
Also aware that given the critical role of the Judiciary in deciding disputes between persons, judicial officers are under huge legal and moral responsibility to meet these demands in the face of their meagre remuneration and poor working and living conditions;
Worried that there is acute shortage of infrastructure in the judiciary as judicial officers still record proceedings in long hand and sittings are conducted in dilapidated or unconducive court houses across the country;
Observes that some judicial officers do not have legal assistants whereas they deserve at least two legal assistants just as executive members and lawmakers have different aides;
Cognizant that the Judiciary is faced with enormous and expanding responsibilities of providing judicial services to an increasing population of 200 million people, building new courts and refurbishing the existing ones across the Federation, engagement of new judicial officers and staff, which are all for better access to effective and efficient justice delivery to the people;
Disturbed that the Judiciary is the least funded of the Three Arms of Government and its budgetary allocation has not increased much in the past 12 years;
Concerned that the poor funding of the Judiciary leaves it vulnerable to comprise and abuse, and may provide avenues for corruption, thus exposing the country to grave perils;
Resolves to:
(i) Urge the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to upwardly review the remuneration of judicial officers in line with present economic realities;
(ii) Also urge the Federal Government to increase the budgetary allocation of the Judiciary for the upcoming fiscal year and provide Special Intervention Funds for the development of the Judiciary; and
(iii) mandate the Committee on Judiciary to ensure compliance and report back within six (6) weeks for further legislative action.
Debate
Rep. Onofiok Luke moved the motion on the need to address the deteriorating working conditions of Judicial officers and it was seconded by Rep. Yemi Taofeek.
Rep. Babangida Ibrahim proposed an amendment to prayer to 1 to read review the ‘allowances’ and not ‘renumeration’ and also to delete the word ‘upward’
The Deputy Speaker, Rep. Ahmed Idris called for a comprehensive review for all such relevant officers under the mentioned schedule affected by the increase in living and operational costs.
Rep. Onofiok Luke advised against watering down the strength of the motion by incorporating working conditions of other sectors, as the motion was as a direct result of the cry from the Judicial workers.
The Deputy Speaker reminded members that the Constitutional review exercise of the House has also captured the improvement of the working conditions for Judicial officers.
Rep. Ifeanyi Momah also proposed an amendment to prayer 3 to mandate all relevant Judiciary Committees of the House to be incorporated in the referral.
The Chief Whip, Rep. Mohammed Monguno warned of the dangers of the House calling for the upward review of allowances for Judiciary and Political office holders without calling for the upward review of the national minimum wage that affects the general labor workforce.
Rep. Ben Kalu called on the House to stick to the topic of the motion and deal exclusively with the issue of the Judicial workers.
The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila called for a harmonization of all concerns. He emphasized the need of the Judiciary, but also acknowledged the need to accommodate the other salient issues.
As a result of the concerns raised, the motion was stepped down for further legislative consultations and consolidations.
11. Need to Construct a Divisional Police Headquarters at Itigidi, Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State:
Rep. Alex Egbona:
The House:
Notes that Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State, with its headquarters at Itigidi, was created on 23 September 1991 from the former Ugep Local Government Area;
Also notes that Abi Local Government Area has ten (10) Council Wards and is bounded in the North and West by Ikwo and Afikpo Local Government Areas of Ebonyi State, to the South by Biase Local Government Area and to the North-East by Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State respectively;
Aware that when the Local Government Area was created, a Divisional Police Headquarter was established at Itigidi and Police Officers were deployed to maintain law and order in the area;
Also aware that the Divisional Police Headquarters has not been fully operational for 31 years due to lack of office accommodation and amenities for its smooth operations;
Recalls that between 2007 and 2010, the Local Government provided a sizable portion of land within the Council premises to the Police authority for building a Divisional Police Headquarters;
Concerned that despite the willingness of the Local Government to support the Nigeria Police Force operation in the area, there has been no commensurate response from the Police;
Worried that in the last ten years, the area has witnessed several violent attacks and kidnappings carried out by bandits and other criminals resulting in the loss of lives and properties worth billions of naira;
Cognizant that the construction of a Divisional Police Headquarters in Itigidi and provision of an enabling working environment for the personnel would curb the incessant attacks and address other security concerns in the area;
Resolves to:
(i) Urge the Nigeria Police Force to ensure the immediate construction of a Divisional Police Headquarters at Itigidi in Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State;
(ii) mandate the Committees on Police Affairs and Appropriations to include the construction of a Divisional Police Headquarters at Itigidi in Abi Local Government Area of Cross River State in the 2023 budget proposal.
