Plenary proceedings of the House of Representatives for Thursday, January 26th, 2023

The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila presided.


After leading the opening prayer and the National Pledge, the Speaker approved the votes and proceedings of Wednesday, January 25th, 2023.


EXPLANATION BY THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE, REP. ALHASSAN ADO-DOGUWA:


The Leader of the House, Rep. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa rose to brief the House on the scheduled meeting between the Ad-Hoc committee which he chaired and the CBN on the need for an extension of the time limit of the cashless policy and the cash-swap policy. He stated that the meeting which was scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th, 2023 could not hold as the CBN leadership did not appear before the Committee. It was then explained that the letter got to the CBN Governor late. The meeting was then rescheduled for today, Thursday, January 26th by 13:00. Rep. Ado-Doguwa stated that should the CBN Governor again refuse to attend, then the House can enforce the constitutional powers at its disposal to handle the matter. He stated that the meeting is critical as it affects the legal tender of Nigerians and their day-to-day socioeconomic lives. He stated that the policy should not be effected if it is deemed to be detrimental to the well-being of Nigerians.


The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila read some parts of the letter reissued to the CBN Governor rescheduling the meeting and stated that the House frowns at the failure of the CBN Governor or his representatives to attend the previous meeting. He also read the reply from the CBN Governor's Office which amongst other things stated that the Governor will not be attending as he is accompanying President Muhammadu Buhari to Senegal for an official function. Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila in addressing the letter expressed the disappointment of the House that the CBN leadership seems to take lightly the effect this policy is sure to greatly have on Nigerians. He further expressed anger at the seeming nonchalant posture of the CBN leadership on the importance of a harmonious working relationship with Parliament as it hinders the smooth governance of the country. 


The Speaker stressed the willingness of the House to invoke the Constitutional powers at its disposal to enforce its summons. He reiterated the need for the gradual phasing out of the old notes to cushion the effect of the cash-swap policy on Nigerians by letting old and new notes run side-by-side for some time before the banks can recall all old notes. Rep. Gbajabiamila noted that the problem is that the new notes are not getting to Nigerians as they should have by now. He reiterated that the House is not calling for a complete cancellation of the policy, but for a soft application to gradually phase out the old notes


The Deputy Speaker, Rep. Ahmed Wase also expressed sadness at the fact that many shops were closed in many States as business owners are not running the risk of collecting old notes from customers only to be stuck with them. He called on the leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives to have a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari as representatives of the people who know what their constituents, especially the rural Nigerians are suffering, to make him see reasons for easing the implementation of the policies. He praised the fact that cashless banking will cure a lot of ills, but it should be gradual in enforcement so as not to cause a myriad of problems in the bid of solving other problems.


STATEMENT BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, REP. FEMI GBAJABIAMILA ON THE FAILURE OF SOME MANAGING DIRECTORS OF BANKS TO RESPOND TO A SUMMONS BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, 26TH JANUARY 2023.


The House of Representatives, in response to a motion on a matter of urgent public importance, invited CBN and Managing Directors of banks in Nigeria to appear before the House of representatives. They were invited to give reasons for the ongoing failure to adequately disburse the redesigned naira notes before the expiration of the deadline of 31st January 2023, when the old notes will cease to be legal tender. The House further constituted an ad-hoc committee led by the Majority Leader, Rep. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, for this purpose. No official of the CBN appeared to respond to the summons by the House of Representatives. This is unacceptable.


2. The Resolution of the House was predicated on information showing that the rollout of the redesigned naira notes has been an unmitigated failure. This failure has real and dire consequences on the ability of Nigerians to conduct business across the country. The refusal by the CBN to heed the invitation by the House of Representatives is evidence of a blatant disregard for the well-being of the Nigerian people who are their customers. It is also an insult to the authority and prerogatives of the people’s parliament.


3. Therefore, I will, pursuant to the authority conferred by Section 89 (1)(d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Order 19 (2)(1) of the Standing Orders of the House of Representatives, not hesitate to issue a warrant to the Inspector General of the Nigeria Police Force to compel the attendance of the CBN or Managing Directors who fail, refuse or neglect to respond to the summons by the House of Representatives.


4. The House of Representatives recognises the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) authority to determine the country’s legal tender and to recall currency with reasonable notice, subject to the approval of the President. The House is also aware that Section 20 (3) Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act mandates the CBN to redeem the face value of the recalled currency upon demand, even after the expiration of the notice of recall. Notwithstanding the deadline imposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), this House will see to it that this provision of the law is honoured in full.

Good morning.


MATTERS OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE 


1. Rep. Kabir Ibrahim moved a motion on the urgent need to give students of tertiary institutions a chance to participate in the general elections and it was seconded by Rep. Ashiru Mani. 


Rep. Ibrahim stated that the scheduled school examination calendars do not take into cognition the timeline of elections which is a right of students registered to vote. He stated that the students constitute up to 40% of newly registered voters in states other than where they are schooling. He further expressed worry that these students may not be able to collect their voter cards as their academic calendar is ongoing. Rep. Kabir called on the relevant authorities in the education sector like the National Universities Commission to direct the suspension of academic proceedings to deal with the issue and allow students to get their voter cards and later on; participate in the general elections. 


The motion was voted on and adopted.


2. Rep. Chinedu Ogah moved a motion on the urgent need to halt the incidence of stringent penalties placed by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) on some secondary schools in Ebonyi State and it was seconded by Rep. Mohammed Abdulmunim. 


Rep. Ogah in leading the debate stated that WAEC slammed the schools with penalties of up to Five Hundred Thousand Naira due to some perceived malpractice during examinations. He stated that the inability of some of the affected schools to meet up with the penalties has denied their students the opportunity to write the exams and turn to hawking or other criminal vices. He called on WAEC to immediately halt the penalties, and that WAEC should be investigated to know if those penalties are remitted to the Federal government coffers.


Rep. Nkem Abonta in speaking against the motion stated that if the schools erred, then they should be penalized. He stated that the House cannot be seen to be on the side of schools involved in exam malpractice. Rep. Abonta stated that the penalties should serve as a deterrent.


The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Ahmed Idris reiterated that the House as an honourable institution should not be seen to condone malpractices done by some of the schools that connive with officials to cheat to get patronage from parents seeking cheap means for their wards to pass the external examinations. He urged Rep. Chinedu Ogah to step down the motion.


Following this light, Rep. Chinedu Ogah called for the motion to be stepped down.

Debate 

Rep. Unyime Idem moved for the second reading of the Bill and it was seconded by Rep. Jerry Alagbaoso. 


Rep. Idem in leading the debate stated that the Bill seeks to establish the regulatory commission to strengthen donor agencies and their capacity to effect positive change. He commended donor agencies who have continued to aid Nigerians in such important sectors as healthcare delivery and poverty alleviation. He however stressed the need to account for the finances coming into the country and how they are expended by receiving agencies and bodies. Rep. Idem hence called for members to support the establishment of the donor agencies regulation commission to track the application of such funds.


Rep. Nicholas Ossai in speaking against the Bill stated that money from donors is granted to different agencies and for different purposes, and over-regulation may constitute bureaucratic bottlenecks between agencies. 


Rep. Nkem Abonta also in speaking against the Bill stressed the vagueness of the facts in the Bill such as it claiming it has no financial implications on Nigeria. He stressed that the Bill if passed will bring retrogression to the Nigerian economy. He wondered how the Bill will want to regulate donor agencies under the United Nations, which he said is sure to even scare them away.


The Speaker of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila called for Honorable members to also look at what the Bill seeks to cure such as tracking funds coming in and what such funds are used for. He stated that even the donors will be happy to see that their donations are used for what they were purposed for.


The Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Ahmed Idris supported the Bill by pointing out some shady actions of some agencies that benefit from these funds and contribute to factors that ensures problems persist for such funds to keep coming in. He commended some sincere NGOs but stressed the need to have a regulatory policy to ensure sanity on the acquisition and utilization of such funds.


Rep. Chinyere Igwe stated that the Bill is against the natural rights of Civil Society Organizations and should not be supported by Honorable members.


Rep. Wole Oke in speaking against the Bill stated that there are already government platforms that deal with what the Bill seeks to achieve and that if passed, the Bill will cause duplication of functions of agencies. He also stated that the government of the day has always tried to promote the fact that donations to the nation is critical even as a means of contributing to the budget.


Rep. Ahmed Jaha in his contribution praised the spirit of the Bill as the actions of some Civil Society Organizations fall just a shy short of criminality. He called on these agencies to make their accounts public. He further pointed out that the duplication of activities of these agencies tends to fool international donors. He called for the effective regulation of these agencies. Rep. Jaha enjoined Honorable members to look critically at the true intention of the Bill and support it. 


The Bill was voted on, approved for second reading and referred to the House Committee on Civil Society and Development Partners.

MOTION

 

10. Need for Completion of 2X60MVA 132/33KV Transmission Substation at Ayingba Kogi State:

Rep. Hassan Abdullahi:

 

The House:

 

Notes that before the Privatization of Nigeria's Electricity Supply Industry, the entire nine local government areas in the Kogi Esta were fed on a 33KV network from Nsukka in presently Enugu State and Oturkpo in Benue State; 

 

Also notes that presently, the supply from Nsukka and Oturkpo links have been cut off and as such, the entire Nine (9) Local Government Areas are fed from a 33KV feeder breaker code-named Ayingba feeder at the 132/33KV substation in Ajaokuta; 

 

Aware that the 33KV Ayingba feeder can deliver only 15MW, which depends on the load allocation; 

 

Further aware that some of the Local Government Areas headquarters are as far as 285km away from the 33kV source, and there is a constant issue of low voltage that could hardly contend with the numerous communities under the nine Local Government Areas;

 

Cognizance that in 2009, a 2 x 60MVA, 132/33kV transmission substation situated at Ayingba, with a 132kV Nsukka - Ayingba line project contract was awarded by Transmission Company of Nigeria(TCN);

 

Concerned that the substation building has been erected, with the 2x 60MVA transformers placed on plinths, but the contractors abandoned the project for years as there is no visible activity on the site;

 

Worried that with only a 33kV feeder breaker supplying power to these 

local government areas and surrounding communities, the state of power supply to the communities will remain unimaginably low and faulty, thus causing constant blackouts in the entire Kogi State; 

 

Resolves to: 

 

(i) urge the Federal Ministry of Power to immediately intervene in the predicament of Ankpa, Ida, Dekina, Omala, Olamaboro, Ibaji, Bassa Olu, Igala-mela/Odolu Local Government Areas to ensure the completion of the transmission substation in Ayingba;

 

(ii) mandate the Committee on Power to audit the completion of the 2X60MVA 132/33KV project contract performance and to complete the project as a matter of urgency;

 

(iii) also mandate Committee on Legislative Compliance to ensure implementation.


Debate 

Rep. Hassan Abdullahi moved the motion on the need for the completion of 2X60MVA 132/33KV transmission substation at Ayingba Kogi State and it was seconded by Rep. Ibrahim Dutse. 


The motion was voted on and adopted.
