MATTERS OF URGENT PUBLIC IMPORTANCE:

1. Hon. Iyawe Esosa moved a motion on the need to address the problems in the petroleum sector and it was seconded by Hon. Tajudeen Kareem. Hon. Iyawe in leading the debate stressed the urgent need for the House to ensure sanity in the oil sector as it remains the lifeline of the Nigerian economy and chief revenue earner for the Federal Government and the Nigerian people. He expressed worry over the manner that the irregularities seem to be frustrating the smooth takeoff and running of the Dangote refinery which people were looking up to as a good support for the national refineries when they come on stream. Hon. Iyawe called on the relevant Committees of the House on Petroleum Resources to ensure they engage the relevant government agencies with a view to ending all abnormalities in the sector.

Hon. Mark Esset proposed an amendment calling on the House to refer the motion to the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Midstream and Downstream). The motion was voted on, adopted and referred to the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Midstream and Downstream).

3. Hon. Patrick Umoh moved a motion on the need for the House to ensure the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria abides by the resolution of the House and it was seconded by Hon. Muktar Shagaya. Hon. Umoh in leading the debate stressed the need to ensure the Council abides by the resolution of the House to the latter, regarding its registration exercise.

He stated that instead of abiding by the resolution of the House to show transparency in the exercise, the Council shutdown the site of the registration and made it look like it was directed by the House of Representatives to do so, putting the House in bad light with the public. He called on the Council to ensure it reopens the site and continue the registration process in a transparent manner devoid of bias. The motion was voted on, adopted and referred to the House Committee on Health Institutions.

4. Hon. Rodney Ebikebina moved a motion on the need to contain the oil spillage in coastal communities in Bayelsa state and it was seconded by Hon. Umar Ajilo. Hon.

He stated that if not checked, the spillage will continue to harm water supply, agriculture, livestock and fishing activities in the region. Hon. Rodney called for decisive steps to be taken to protect the lives and livelihoods of those in the communities. He called on the House Committees on Environment and Petroleum Resources (Upstream) to investigate the issue.

He further called on the National Emergency Management Agency to provide aid to the affected communities. Hon. Rodney further called on the Nigeria AGIP company to cleanup the spillage caused by its activities. The motion was voted on, adopted and referred to the House Committee on Environment, Petroleum Resources (Upstream) as well as that on NEMA.

5. Hon. Agbedi Frederick moved a motion on the need to address the havoc caused by a fire at a market in Abuja Municipal Council and it was seconded by Hon. Gaza Gbwefwi. Hon. Agbedi in leading the debate stated that the fire outbreak ravaged the market resulting in the destruction of goods and services worth millions of Naira. He stated that the market used to serve a large area of communities in the Abuja municipal area, hence the urgent need to ensure it is brought back to complete functionality. Hon. Agbedi called on the National Emergency Management Agency to provide assistance to the affected victims and that Honourable Members should contribute funds to the rehabilitation.

Hon. Ali Isa proposed an amendment to delete prayer 3, as the money contributed by Members was for providing food palliatives for Nigerians and cannot be channeled to this problem. The motion was voted on, adopted as amended and referred to the House Committee on FCT Area Council as well as that on NEMA.
