Breaking: Govs Ask NASS To Suspend Infectious Diseases Bill
As controversy continues to trail the handling of the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill, 2020 by the National Assembly, Governors of the nation’s 36 states have asked the Legislature to henceforth halt all activities in relation to the Bill.
The Governors, at the 8th COVID-19 teleconference of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), expressed discomfort that they were not consulted on the Bill despite being at the forefront of efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
