Kaduna Assembly Passes First Bills

The 10th Kaduna State House of Assembly has passed its first bills into law in its 8th plenary session on July 19, 2023 by Speaker Yusuf Liman Dahiru.

The passage of the bills came after reading of the two reports by the chairman of the ad-hoc committee on bills, Barrister Emmanuel Bako Kantiok, member representing Zonkwa constituency and third reading of the bills by the speaker, Yusuf Liman Dahiru.

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

Liman, who commended the 9th Assembly for preparing and considering the bill, told journalists that laws are made for general purpose and not for individuals.

He said before, there was the Kaduna State Property Development Company (KSPDC) which has now been taken over by the Kaduna Housing Corporation bill and the benefit of the bill is that there will be more investment in the housing sector as investment will be properly coordinated by the corporation.

On the second bill, the chairman of the ad-hoc committee on bills said, the bill for a law to establish the Kaduna Commercial Property Corporation is talking about markets and its establishment.
