Establishment Bill, For Federal University of Education Numan

…I Call On All Well Meaning Indigenes of Adamawa To Ensure the Bill Is Assented By President Tinubu -La’ori

From Muh’d Shafi’u Saleh

The member representative Numan/Demsa/Lamurde federal Constituency Hon. La’ori, has called on all well meaning Indigenes of Adamawa State to ensuring that the bill of Establishment Of Federal University of Education Numan, is assented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.

If you recall that the Bill for an act to provide for the establishment of Federal University of Education Numan, sponsored by Distinguished Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe at the Senate and by Rt. Hon. Kwamoti B. Laori at the House of Representatives was passed in the 9th Assembly but could not be assented to by the then President Mohammadu Buhari GCFR.

At the commencement of the 10th Assembly, the Bill was reintroduced again by the duo of Distinguished Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe at the Senate and Rt. Hon. Kwamoti B. Laori at the House of Representatives as is the tradition of the National Assembly. A Bill must be passed by the two chambers before it becomes a Law.

In the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Kwamoti B Laori applied Order 12, Rule 17 of the House Standing Orders to allow Bills from preceding Assembly to be Regazette and got approval for the Bill to be presented as House Bill (HB)936.

The Bill was read the first time on 16th November, 2023 and committed to the Committee of the whole for consideration.

After intense lobbying, the House Committee of the whole presented it’s report on the 9th October, 2024 and on Thursday 10th October, 2024 the Bill was read the third time and passed.

At the passage of the Bill today by the two Chambers of the National Assembly, the clerk of the House of Reps would communicate it’s passage to the Clerk of the National Assembly whose duty it is to communicate the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, HE. Ahmed Bola Tinubu (GCFR) for assent.

While we commend the efforts of Senator Binos and Rt. Hon. Kwamoti B. Laori as well as all the legislators from Adamawa state in both chambers for their support for the Bill to be passed, it is not Uhuru.

At this point, I wish to call on all well meaning indigenes of Adamawa state, starting from our dynamic Governor, HE. Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the National Security Adviser, the Hon. Minister of Education, all Members of the National Assembly from Adamawa state, both past and present, the former Vice President, Former SGFs, Head of Service, all First ClassTraditional Rulers, friends of Adamawa State like the President of the Senate, and all well wishers, regardless of party or any temporal difference to work towards ensuring the Bill is assented to by the President and Commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
