Enugu Assembly drops Life Pension Bill for Ex-Governors
Enugu State House of Assembly has dropped the life pension bill granting more benefits to former governors and deputies of the state. The bill was dropped after several complains from the general public on the bill.
In addition to the general public outcry on the bill, some people had also protested against the bill. The protesters had stormed the assembly complex demanding that the lawmakers should withdraw the bill. They cited the state’s 58% poverty rate and poor internally generated revenue as some of the reasons the bill should be dropped.
Prior to dropping the bill, Edward Ubosi, speaker of the house, had said that the lawmakers will “thoroughly go through it (the bill) to enable them to delete and add necessary sections to it.”
Ikechukwu Ezeugwu, the majority leader, had also said that the assembly would be guided by the views of their constituents when reconsidering the bill. Ezeugwu further said that the house of assembly will hold a public hearing on the bill to ensure all opinions are considered.
