Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday presented an executive bill to repeal the law granting payment of monthly pension to former governors and their deputies before the State House of Assembly.
Speaker Yakubu Danladi announced the presentation of the bill during Wednesday’s plenary while reading the governor’s message to the House.
Danladi said the bill was tailored toward realising the cardinal objective of the state government on prudent management of resources.
All members at the plenary unanimously agreed that the bill had passed first reading after the presentation of the governor’s request for consideration.
Mr Danladi later referred the bill to the House Committee on Rules and Business to slate the bill for deliberation during the next legislative sitting of the House.
The Kwara State House of Assembly had in 2018 passed a bill to suspend payment of pension to former governors and their deputies who are holding political or public offices.
