Public Hearing: Bill to amend Delta State Community Security Corps Agency law to hold May 9
A Public Hearing Bill to amend the Delta State Community Security Corps Agency law has been scheduled to hold on Friday, May 9, 2025.
The public hearing, being organized by the Joint Committees on the Special Committee on Bills and the House Committee on Peace and Security, will hold at the Press Center, Delta State House of Assembly Complex, Okpanam Road, Asaba, beginning at 10 am on the slated date.
A statement by the Chairman of the Joint Committee and Majority Leader of the House, Hon (Dr) Emeka Nwaobi, calls for inputs from stakeholders, either written or oral, in the making of the new law.
The statement particularly seeks memoranda from the Delta State Command of the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Ministry of Justice, and the state chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON).
The Joint Committee also expects inputs from the Delta State Security Trust Fund, the Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, the Directorate of Political and Security Matters, the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), and other stakeholders from the public and private sectors.
The statement adds that all memoranda on the proposed law should be in 30 copies, enclosed in a sealed envelope, and addressed to the Chairman, Joint Committee on the Special Committee on Bills and Committee on Peace and Security.
It says all memoranda should be submitted to the Clerk of the Committee on or before Thursday, May 8, 2025.
The statement appeals to relevant stakeholders to endeavor to participate in the public hearing as their presentation is key to the success of the exercise.
It will be recalled that the State House of Assembly, at its sitting on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, referred the bill to a joint committee for further legislative scrutiny.
