ASSEMBLY IN KADUNA PASSES INITIAL BILLS

Tunji Wusu –

Speaker Yusuf Liman Dahiru of the 10th Kaduna State House of Assembly signed the first of its measures into law during the 8th plenary session on July 19, 2023.

The legislation were passed following the third reading of the bills by the speaker, Yusuf Liman Dahiru, and the reading of the two reports by the chairman of the special committee on bills, Barrister Emmanuel Bako Kantiok, a member from the Zonkwa constituency.

The two bills are titled “A bill for a law to establish Kaduna State Housing Corporation Law, 2023” and “A bill for a law to establish Kaduna State Commercial Property Corporation Law, 2023.”

Liman told reporters that laws are designed for general purposes and not for specific people, and he praised the 9th Assembly for developing and studying the bill.

In the past, he claimed, there was the Kaduna State Property Development Company (KSPDC), which has since been replaced by the Kaduna Housing Corporation bill. The bill’s advantage is that more investment would be made in the housing industry since the corporation will effectively coordinate investment.

The second draft, which would form the Kaduna Commercial Property Corporation, would discuss markets and its establishment, according to the head of the ad hoc committee on legislation.
