The plan by the Zamfara House of Assembly to amend the pension bill to make better pension for governors, speakers and their deputies has irked a lawmaker.
Alhaji Bello S-Fagon, representing Anka Constituency, urged the house to reject the bill, describing it as “unfair”.
S-Fagon argued that it was not sincere for the assembly to provide a bill to give former governors, speakers and their deputies huge amounts of money after their services.
“We should know the resources of the state belong to people of the state,” he said.
He implored the lawmakers to know that the state was practicing Islamic Legal System and “we all know Islam does not allow injustice, and this is injustice”.
He said if there were leaders that meritoriously deserved such benefit, it would first be the house of assembly members before any other person.
The assembly at its plenary on Friday, chaired by the Speaker, Alhaji Sanusi Rikiji, urged members to accelerate the first and second reading of the bill.
Moving the motion, the Leader of the house, Alhaji Isah Abdulmumin, said the bill was enacted by the assembly over five years, therefore it needed to be amended.
Abdulmumin urged the house to agree with the motion, considering its importance in rewarding the leaders who served the state.
The Speaker urged Mr S-Fagon to go and study the bill very well before coming to the chamber to contribute to such an important matter.
The Speaker then directed the Clerk of the house, Alhaji Bayero Anka, to give the bill its first and second reading, to fast track the process.
He also set up a five-man ad hoc committee, led by the leader of the house and directed the members to submit reports in the next two weeks.
During the sitting, the assembly also received a report on the 2017 Financial Account from the Auditor General of the state.
The report was presented by the Deputy Speaker and Chairman of House Committee on Public Accounts, Alhaji Muhammad Abubukar Gummi.
The assembly began its recess after the deliberations to resume on Jan. 15, 2019. (NAN)

The Anambra Commissioner of Police, Mr Garba Umar, deployed all Area Commanders, DPOs and Unit Heads to intensify raids on black spots in the state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Haruna Mohammed, said that the ongoing stop-and-search operation in the state should be sustained.

He further directed the Department of Operations in the command to embark on statewide round-visits to observe levels of compliance with his directives.
”Consequently, all officers in the Command are placed on red alert at their respective duty posts and directed to respond promptly to any situation or distress calls from members of the public,” Umar ordered.

He said that the government had attracted lots of local and international investors to the state and would not toy with the security of the investors and their investments.
The commissioner said that the state government had recorded an impressive achievement in security and would not backslide, assuring the people of their safety during and after the yuletide. (NAN)

Oloyede, who read out the new rules guiding the 2019 examinations to the owners and operators of the Computer-Based Test Centres (CBT), confirmed that a total of 718 CBT centres have been registered to take part in the examination.
The forum had in attendance the Chairman of the Governing Board of the examination body, Dr. Emmanuel Ndukwe; Vice-Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun; Head of Nigeria Office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Mr. Isaac Adenipekun.

The Forum critically appraised the new rules guiding the conduct of the examination in 2019.
According to the Registrar, some of the new guidelines, especially in connection with the CBT operators include the abolition of the scanning of passport photographs of candidates and real-time picture capture in its place.
Others are biometric capturing of 10 fingers, entries review and correctness confirmation, printing of registration slip only by using biometric authentication to confirm valid finger-print, and collection of reading text and compact disc (CD).
Oloyede said; “We have reviewed all our activities in the past years and we must commend some of our partners who made us proud. There were the bad eggs and a total of 50 of these bad eggs among the CBT centres were sanctioned in 2018 with many of them currently facing prosecution.
“This year, to avoid infractions such as the illegal movement of routers and extension of registration points, there is no longer offline registration as all accredited CBT centres have been empowered for real-time online registration
