Jigawa Assembly's Speaker Commits to Constitution Bill Review

The Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Haruna Dangyatim, confirmed the receipt of the Constitution Amendment Bill transmitted by the National Assembly. He assured that the Assembly would complete the necessary legislative work before the deadline at the end of the month.

The bill was transmitted last Wednesday to all state Houses of Assembly for concurrence. Dangyatim stated that the Assembly has 30 days from the receipt of the letter to finalize the amendments.

A committee has been established to examine the amendments critically and ensure they reflect the interests of the people of Jigawa State. He emphasized the importance of the amendment process in strengthening Nigeria’s democracy and addressing issues within the 1999 Constitution.

The Speaker also mentioned that the Assembly would engage stakeholders, including traditional rulers and civil society, to gather input before making a final decision, ensuring transparency and patriotism in their considerations.
