Harboursandport.com: Lagos - Following the public outcry over controversial proposed Infectious
Disease Control Bill by the House of Representative, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila
has said that the Bill will now be subjected to a public hearing.
The speaker also denied the allegation of any form of external inducement to
him or the House leadership with a view to passing the proposed Infectious
Disease Control Bill.
Gbajabiamila, who seemed to have bowed to public pressure, stated this
during Tuesday’s plenary at the lower chamber of the National Assembly in
Abuja.
He, however, disagreed with those who condemned the timing of the bill,
insisting that it was appropriate to enact such a bill at this time.
The speaker also denied claims that the leadership of the House had
received $10 million to pass the bill.
