At its 93rd legislative sitting, the House repealed the Rivers State Advertisement and Use of State-Owned (Prohibition) Law of 2022.

The House passed the bill to amend the traditional rulers law after debating the report of the House Committee on Chieftaincy and Community Affairs on the bill.

Commenting on the report presented by the chairman of the committee, Ofiks Kabang, the speaker, Martin Chike Amaewhule emphasised the importance of the passage of the Bill, which he noted will include a resolution of the House in the recognition, de-recognition or suspension of traditional rulers in the state.

He said the inclusion of a resolution of the House, backed by two- majority votes, will curb arbitrariness in the appointment and removal of the chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council,  adding that the new schedule to the Law reflects the current status of every recognised traditional ruler in the state.

In another development, the House repealed the Rivers State Advertisement and Use of State-owned Property (Prohibition)Law No. 7 of 2022. Remarking after a robust debate on the Report of the House Committee on Land, Survey and Urban Development, which was presented by the chairman of the committee, Hon. Solomon Wami, the speaker remarked that the House decided to repeal the law so as not to financially overburden the people of the state and impede their access to state-owned facilities.

 

Amaewhule thanked members of the House for their commitment to the peace and development of the state despite the asphyxiating circumstances in which they operate, adding that history will be kind to them as they continue to represent their people and perform their constitutional duties effectively.
