MOTION OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE

Rep. Haruna Dederi moved a motion on the frequent attack that takes place in his constituency (Rogo local government area of Kano state) and it was seconded by Rep. Samuel Adejare. In leading the debate Rep. Dederi stated that the clampdown on bandits in Zamfara and Katsina States have made the unscrupulous elements flee to Rogo local government and continue their nefarious activities. He called on the federal government to set up a joint security task force to stem the tide of attacks. He also called for the establishment of such forces in other neighbouring regions, so that the fleeing bandits would not find any haven in them. Rep. Dederi then called on the House Committees on National Security/Intelligence, Army as well as Police Affairs to ensure compliance to the prayers of the motion and report back to the House.

Rep. Leke Abejide proposed an amendment to include the three Local Governments he represents (Yagba East/ Yagba West/ Mopa Muro) in Kogi State into the prayers of the motion, as bandits fleeing Niger State have transferred their activities to Kogi state.

Debate
Rep. Waive moved for the second reading of the Bill and it was seconded by Rep. Ben Roland Igbakpa.

Rep. Waive in leading the debate argued that the Bill seeks to amend section 5(1) of the Pension Reform Act for the exception of the Nigeria Police from the Contributory Pension Scheme and put them among those categories of servicemen that are not part of the scheme. According to him, the scheme has done more harm than good for officers and men of the Nigeria Police which has led to protests from them to be excluded from the scheme.

Rep. Isiaka Ibrahim stated that the plight suffered by retirees of the Nigeria Police is better imagined than experienced due to the hardship they suffer from the application of the contributory pension scheme.

Rep. Obanikoro Babjide also supported the spirit behind the Bill, he stated that personnel of the police force deserve better treatment after retirement, having served Nigeria through varying circumstances and conditions of danger.

Rep. Nkem Abonta stated that considering arguments from various quarters; it seems the contributory pension scheme may have outlived its purpose, especially in its current form of application. He stated that the application of all pension schemes needs to be investigated to save all sectors and not just that of the Police. Allegations, he stated are rife with news of how the pension funds are mismanaged.

Rep. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha termed the poor pension paid to police retirees as unacceptable to parliament, and all should be done to correct this, especially considering the service these officers have rendered to the nation over the years.

Rep. Shehu Koko, (a former police officer) expressed sadness over the plights of police retirees, especially when compared to what is obtainable in other sister agencies like the Nigerian Army.

Rep. Nicholas Ossai in lending support to the Bill stated that extra authority should be given to the Committee to handle all cases of other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government suffering the same fate as police retirees and correct it swiftly.

Rep. Mohammed Monguno also added that the primary role of government is the protection of the life and properties of the people and the Police are the instrument of government charged to enforce the civil protection of life and property of the citizenry. He saw no reason why the Police case should be any different from that of the military.

Rep. Toby Okechukwu stated that the House needs to review the Pension Reform Act so that the opportunity enjoyed by other security personnel to be excluded from the contributory pension scheme should be extended to men and officers of the Nigeria Police as they continue to sacrifice their safety and lives for that of others living in Nigeria. If not repealed, the scheme should be reformed to function properly.

The Bill was voted, approved for second reading and referred to the House Committee on Pensions.

MOTIONS

Urgent Need for Provision of Food and Relief Materials to Victims of Insurgency in Isa/Sabon Birni Federal Constituency of Sokoto State:
Rep. Mohammed Sa’idu Bargaja:

The House:
Notes that the victims of banditry attacks in over (30) villages across Isa/Sabon Birni Federal Constituency of Sokoto State displaced to various locations within the neighbouring towns and states have started returning to their homes and villages given a fair improvement in security situation in the Area;

Need to Relocate Yola Correctional Centre from Modibbo Adama Way, Yola South Local Government Area to Its Permanent Site in Yolde Pate, Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State:
Rep. Jafaru Suleiman Ribadu:

The House:

Notes that the Nigerian Prison Service, Yola now known as the Correctional Centre was established in 1914 to rehabilitate inmates and facilitate their training for eventual reintegration into the society;

Also notes that the Correctional Centre has the capacity to accommodate 500 inmates but currently accommodates over 1,000 inmates representing an excess of over 200%, thus overstretching the facilities in the Centre thereby exposing inmates to infectious diseases especially under COVID-19 Pandemic;

Informed that a new Correctional Centre of 1,000 inmates capacity was built in Yolde Pate, Yola South Local Government Area, an area that is strategic and the Centre is equipped with standard and modern facilities and quarters for the personnel of the Centre;

Aware that the old Correctional Centre in Yola town creates a lot of inconveniences for residents and visitors due to frequent roadblocks especially in times of rampage by inmates or anticipated attack by insurgents;

Also aware that the sewage system is directly connected to the Yola South Central Mosque, Yola South Local Government Headquarters and the Palace of His Royal Highness the Lamido of Adamawa which exposes the residents to health hazards especially in the event of epidemic outbreak given its proximity and drainage linkages;

Regrets that the convenience and peace of residents of Yola will continue to be disturbed as long as the Correctional Centre is not urgently relocated to its permanent site;

Resolves to:

(i) Call on the Federal Government to relocate the Correctional Centre from its present location at Modibbo Adama Way, Yola town to its new site at Yolde Pate, Yola Town;

(ii) urge the Controller- General of the Nigeria Correctional Service to stop the 9:00 pm closure of the main Yola town road due to the location of the Centre; and

Need to Enforce Compulsory Teaching of Moral Lessons and Orientation Subjects/Courses in Nigeria’s Educational Curricula:
Rep. Uju Kingsley Chima:

The House:
Notes that good morals and proper orientation are indisputable basic components of child upbringing and training, thus a lack of it, especially in young people, would result in societal decay;

Recalls that Moral Instructions was a compulsory subject in Nigeria’s School’s curricula in the past;

Worried that due to the removal of Moral Instructions from the school system, the current generation of youths lack the benefits of such lessons, and may end up as nuisances in society;

Cognizant that with the increasing rate of violence and various forms of immorality in recent times, the need for reintroduction and enforcement of the teaching of Moral Lessons and Orientation Subjects/Courses in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Institutions cannot be overemphasized;

Also cognizant that the reintroduction of moral lessons and proper orientation will keep rebuilding good morality in the younger generation and provide a proper orientation for future generations;

Resolves to:
(i) Urge the Federal Ministries of Education and Youth and Sports Development and the National Orientation Agency and other relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies to collaborate with a view to reintroducing Moral Instructions as a compulsory subject in the school curricula as well as develop effective orientation for the school system;

(ii) mandate the Committees on Basic Education and Services, Tertiary Education and Services, and Youth Development to ensure compliance.

Motion stepped down by leave of the House due to the absence of its mover.

Urgent Need to Address the Falling Standard of Education in Nigeria:
Rep. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson:

The House:
Notes that quality education is a crucial tool for economic growth of any country, thus Goal 4 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is focused on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting life-long learning opportunities for all;

Also notes that Section 18 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) provides that the Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels;

Aware that the Nigeria’s education system within the last decade has been on a steady decline, ranging from influx of illegal institutions of learning as well as unqualified teachers in the system to poor funding, overcrowding and plethora of decaying infrastructure in schools across the Federation;

Also aware that according to the United Nations, Nigeria has one of the largest populations of out-of-school youth in the world, with more than ten million Nigerian children, 60 per cent of them girls, not in school and will therefore not have the skills they need to get jobs and build secured and stable future;

Recalls the United Nation Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Reports that for a nation to achieve the goal of providing quality education for all by 2030, the country would have to allocate at least 26 percent of its national budget to Education, however, Nigeria's budgetary allocation for Education in the last five years are 7.38% in 2017, 7.03% in 2018, 7.05% in 2019, 6.7% in 2020 and 5.6% in 2021, a far cry from the expected standards;

Acknowledges that Nigeria has achieved some progress in expanding access to school under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the domestic Universal Basic Education (UBE) Scheme, however, the expansion has not resulted in improved learning, as the flat learning curve in Nigeria is a proof that getting children to school does not automatically translate to adequate infrastructure, qualified teachers, conducive learning environment, frequent attendance, grade progression, effective classroom governance and more importantly, learning;

Concerned that the adverse effects of falling standard of Education to a nation is very grave, and the fall in educational standard in Nigeria implies a continued decline in its level of economic growth;

Also concerned that with the current population of about 200 million, 45 per cent of which are below 15 years, there is high demand for learning opportunities translating into increased enrolment which has created challenges in ensuring quality education since resources are spread more thinly;

Worried that the burden on education in Nigeria has become even more overwhelming, resulting in more than 100 pupils to one teacher as against the UNESCO benchmark of 35 pupils per teacher; culminating in students learning under trees for lack of classrooms and other harsh conditions;

Cognizant that if no urgent action is taken, the problem will gravely affect the young and future generations as well as stifle economic and social developmental prospects of the country;

Resolves to:
(i) Urge the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning to give further considerations to Education in the subsequent budgetary allocations in other to attain the UNESCO projection by 2030;

(ii) mandate the Committees on Tertiary Education and Services, Basic Education and Services, Youth Development and Appropriations to liaise with relevant stakeholders with the aim of providing lasting solutions to falling standard of education in Nigeria, and report back within four (4) weeks for further legislative action.

Debate
Rep. Ganiyu Johnson moved the motion on the urgent need to address the falling standard of education in Nigeria and it was seconded by Rep. Abdullahi Ibrahim Halims.

The motion was voted and adopted.
