Speaker Liman while commending the 9th Assembly for preparing and considering the bill worthy pointed that laws are made for general purpose and not for individuals.

Speaking to journalists shortly after passage of the bills, the Speaker, said that before now, 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.

Explaining further 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 it’s establishment will ensure better coordination and people will be encouraged to invest in commercial properties in the state.

Contributing on the bills, Halliru Gambo Dangana member representing Sanga Constituency said reforms are made to ease the lives of people in the state and no business strives without a body regulating it’s activities, hence the bill for a law to establish Kaduna Commercial Property Corporation will go a long way and will attract more confidence in other people which will in turn attract more investment for the state.
