The Senate has reconsidered and passed seven bills that were initially sent to the Clerk of the National Assembly for onward transmission to the President Muhammadu Buhari.

The bills are Nigerian Aeronautical Search and Rescue Bill, 2018; Climate Change (Est, etc) Bill, 2018; Chartered Institute of Pension Practitioner of Nigeria (Est, etc) Hill, 2018 and Chartered Institute of Training and Development of Nigeria (Est, etc) Bill, 2018.

Others are National Institute of Credit Administration (Est, etc) Bill, 2018; Digital Rights and Freedom (Est, etc) Bill, 2018 and Nigerian Film Corporation (repeal & Re-enactment) Bill, 2018.

The Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, explained that after critical examination of the Bills, the Directorate of Legal Services of the National Assembly observed some fundamental issues which required fresh legislative action on some clauses in the bills.

The bills and the affected clauses are:

Nigerian Aeronautical Search and Rescue Bill, 2018 – Clause 2 (1)(2).

Climate Change (Est, etc) Bill, 2018 – Clause 2 (1)(4), 3(1)(f), 5(2), 7(1)(a) (2)(a), 8, 9, 17(1).

Chartered Institute of Pension Practitioner of Nigeria (Est, etc) Bill, 2018 – Clause 11.

Chartered Institute of Training and Development of Nigeria (Est, etc) Bill, 2018 – Clause 18 (2) & (6).

National Institute of Credit Administration (Est, etc) Bill, 2018 – Clause 7 (3)(5) and 8 (1)(3).
