No Comments

A bill for the creation of 18 new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Ekiti on Monday passed through first reading.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Speaker of Ekiti House of Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, read at plenary a letter from Gov. Kayode Fayemi seeking the creation of the LCDAs.

NAN recalls that the outgoing governor's move to create the LCDAs generated controversy, with many describing it as unconstitutional and belated.

Also sent to the House was another bill seeking protection for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS.

The two bills passed through first reading at Monday's plenary.

The motion for the business of the day was moved by the Deputy Majority Leader, Mr Ayodeji Odu.

The other business at the plenary was the observance of a minute silence in honour of the wife of the Chief Whip, Mr Ade Ajayi, who died in an accident last week.

The Assembly adjourned sitting till Tuesday.
