Voting on the bills will begin on Wednesday, next week, to last two days as the Speaker pleaded for a large turnout to fulfill the provisions of
Section 9 of the Constitution, which says “a bill seeking to alter any part of the constitution must secure the vote of two-thirds (240) of the 360 members of the House to pass.”
Ahead of the presentation of the reports, the First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari, visited lawmakers on Wednesday and was admitted into the chamber to observe proceedings.
The first lady visited to canvass support for at least three of the bills, which deal with issues relating to women, especially participation in politics, appointments, gender balancing and gender-based violence.
