 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

 RIVERS ASSEMBLY SET TO FURTHER AMEND LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW



... Commits Rivers State Education (Return of Schools) (Amendment) Bill  to Committee 


The Rivers State House of Assembly at its 118th Legislative Sitting, on Monday, gave First Reading to the Rivers State Local Government (Amendment) Bill, 2024.


Presenting the Bill, the Member representing Omuma Constituency, Hon. Sylvanus Nwankwo averred that the Bill seeks to further amend the Rivers State Local Government Law No 5 of 2018 and other matters connected thereto; adding that the Bill has four clauses and when passed may be cited as the Local Government(Amendment) Law, 2024.


Also, the House debated on the Rivers State Education (Return of Schools)(Amendment) Bill, 2024 after the Bill was read the  Second Time.


Leading the debate, the sponsor of the Bill, Hon. Tekenari Granville urged his Colleagues to support the Bill which merely seeks the return of  Kalabari Girls High School, Buguma to the government, because it was originally built through community effort  several years ago; but was erroneously categorized and ceded to  church as Mission School in 2005.

He stated further that after the school was ceded to the Church, it was abandoned, and the previous administration in the State graciously renovated the school to its present enviable status. 


Contributing to the debate, other Members expressed their support for the Bill, stating that the school should be returned to the Government for  better management. They added that the school is now well positioned to cater for the educational needs of the female gender in Asari Toru Local Government Area and beyond. 


Commenting on the Bill, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule commended the Sponsor of the Bill, stating that the Bill is a people oriented Bill, which is the hallmark of the Tenth Assembly. 


The Speaker explained that the intendment of the Bill is innocuous, because it simply seeks to return the Kalabari Girls High School, Buguma to the government. He hinted further that until 2005 when the Rivers State Education (Return of Schools) (Amendment) Law came into force, the school was under the management of the State government.


Commenting further, the Speaker said, regrettably the church that took over the school allowed it to wallow in a deplorable state, but, for the magnanimity of the Nyesom Wike administration, the school was completely renovated and rehabilitated with new structures and equipment; stressing that despite the present enviable  state of the school, it is not functional. "So, the essence of the  Bill is to legally empower the State government to take over the administration of the school to make it serve the purpose for which it was built", he emphasized. 

The Bill was later committed to the House Committee on Education for further legislative scrutiny.


Signed


Martins Wachukwu
