Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Senate, on Tuesday, passed five bills from the House of Representatives for concurrence.<\/p>\n

The bills include Public Enterprises (Privatization and Commercialization) Act (Repeal & Enactment) Bill, 2022; and Orthopaedic Hospitals Management Board Act (Amendment) Bill, 2022.<\/p>\n

Others are the Chartered Institute of Social Work Practitioners (Establishment) Bill, 2022; Nigeria Council for Social Work (Establishment) Bill, 2022; and the Chartered Institute of Professional Secretarial of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2022.<\/p>\n

The five bills, sponsored by the Deputy Senate Leader, Ajayi Boroffice, were passed after consideration by the Committee of the Whole.<\/p>\n

In a related development, the Senate, on Tuesday, passed the Nigerian Postal Services (Repeal and re-enactment) Bill, 2022.<\/p>\n

Also passed were the Chartered Institute of Public Administration of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2022; and Raw Materials Research and Development Council Act 2004 (Repeal and Re-enactment) Bill, 2022.<\/p>\n

The three bills were passed after re-committal to the Committee of the Whole.<\/p>\n

The motion for recommittal was sponsored by the Deputy Senate Leader, Ajayi Boroffice.<\/p>\n

Boroffice, in his presentation, observed that \u201csome fundamental issues which require fresh legislative action by both chambers of the National Assembly emerged after a critical analysis of the bills by Mr. President C \u2013 in \u2013 C.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said a Technical Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives and the Directorate of Legal Services met and worked on the bills.<\/p>\n

The Senate, relying on Order 1(b) and Order 52(6) of the Standing Order, 2022 as amended, rescinded its decision on the bills as passed and re-committed same to the Committee of the Whole for consideration and passage.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two bills seeking to establish the Council for Certification of Professional Counselors in Nigeria; and the Federal College of Agricultural Technology Opialu-Ojapo on Tuesday, have passed the second reading in the Senate.<\/p>\n

The bills were sponsored by Senators Ovie Omo-Agege (APC, Delta Central) and Abba Moro (PDP, Benue South).<\/p>\n

The bills were both referred by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to the Committees on Establishment and Public Service Matters; and Agriculture and Rural Development, respectively, for further legislative input.<\/p>\n

The Committees were both given four weeks to submit their reports to the Senate for consideration.<\/p>\n
