          REMARK BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, REP. FEMI GBAJABIAMILA ON THE CONTROVERSY GENERATED BY THE PROPOSED CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES BILL, 2020 ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON TUESDAY, 5TH MAY 2020. 1.

The Bill, which is still a proposal subject to consideration, amendment and improvement has been assailed as a sinister attempt to turn Nigerians into guinea pigs for medical research while taking away their fundamental human rights. 2. Suffice it to say that none of these allegations are true. Unfortunately, we now live in a time when conspiracy theories have gained such currency that genuine endeavo...
