On Thursday, 20th May, 2021 at the Plenary of the House of Representatives, I proposed two additional Bills which passed though First Reading.

 

The Civil Service Recruitment (Regulation) Bill, 2021 is a proposed Law to eradicate corruption and nepotism in public recruitment exercise in Nigeria and provide equal opportunity for all job applicants.

 

The Second Bill is the Pension Reform Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021 which seeks to provide for the establishment of a Pensions Tribunal where pensioners can seek redress on delay, refusal, underpayment or non payment of Pensions by employers.

 

It is my hope that these Bills, when passed into Law, will improve on open Governance as well as promote social justice in our recruitment processes and Pensions administration.
