Governor Zulum explained that “the Borno State Criminal Justice Administration Law will address the increasing cases of rape and political thuggery and those found involved in political thuggery risk seven (7) years imprisonment and their sponsors will also not go unpunished”, he said.

Zulum also said “Borno State Investment Protection Bill seeks to provide the state the powers to tap the vast mineral deposit in the state.” while the drugs and medical consumable bills seek to address the problem of scams and reduce the issue of fake and counterfeit drugs.

The governor explained that a government agency will not only be distributing drugs to government health facilities but will also sell to private pharmacies and health facilities.

Zulum commended the State House of Assembly for the cordial working relationship with the executive arm.

He said within the last four years, the executive arm sent about 70 bills to both the 9th and 10th Assembly from which most were passed by the House and assented to by him.

Earlier before the governor’s signing of nine bills on Wednesday, Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. AbdulKarim Lawan, said of the nine bills being signed, “three of the Bills were from the 9th Assembly, while six bills were from the 10th Assembly and all these bills were passed by the 10th Assembly.”

The speaker recalled that in the 9th Assembly, the House received a total of 67 bills all of which were passed while other bills were passed by the 10th Assembly. He commended Governor Zulum for the cordial relationship between the House and the Executive.
