President of the House of Representatives Yakub Dogar said that the National Assembly is trying to include the environment and related issues in the simultaneous legislative list of the country. According to him, the pressure has been followed by ever increasing amounts of ecological and natural disasters around the world, proving that climate change is not deceiving. Dogara announced this at the opening of a summit of national stakeholders on the legal framework for environmental law and policy in Abuja, where he claimed that the Nigerian environment was presently a threat to heritage. He said that one of the changes proposed by the legislative authority was to move the environment from the rest of the list to the same time to allow the National Assembly to legislate. He pointed out that the leadership of the National Assembly is aware of the serious threats posed by issues such as global warming, climate change, ocean waves, droughts / deserts, oil spills, erosion, waste management and gaseous fuels, land degradation, soil loss, erosion, landslides, bark, unjustified and uncontrolled grazing, deforestation and general environmental pollution.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives yesterday swore in Mrs. Dorothy Mato as replacement for the sacked member representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State, Herman Hembe.
At the commencement of plenary, the House Clerk, Adamu Abdulkadir, administered oath of office and that of membership on Mato before she was assigned a seat in the chamber.
Also, in a bid to ensure qualitative education in the polity, the House yesterday faulted the decision by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to reduce the cut-off marks required for admission of candidates into tertiary institutions in the country.
Adopting a motion sponsored by Mr. Hassan Saleh at the plenary presided by Deputy Speaker, Sulaimon Yusuff Lasun, the lawmakers mandated the Aminu Sulaiman-led Committee on Tertiary Education and Services to investigate the circumstances that led to the adoption of the measure and report back within four weeks for further legislative action.
Saleh noted that it beats his imagination that JAMB announced a 120 cut-off mark which represents only 30 per cent of the total examination mark of 400 for universities and a 100 marks stipulated for polytechnics and colleges of education representing 20 per cent of the total mark.
He said the decision was bound to lower the standard of education in tertiary institutions as many candidates who performed woefully in the UMTE examination could secure admission through nepotism, bribery and corruption while many other candidates who performed excellently could be denied admission.
In another development, the House of Representatives yesterday passed to third reading 21 bills earlier considered and approved by members during the amendment of the 1999 Constitution exercise three months ago.
The 21 items included that seeking to include former heads of the National Assembly in the Council of States, among others.
