Hon. Edward Ubosi, Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly |
Tectono Business Review got
wind of this call when the coordinator of the women interest group, Mrs. Nkiru Ugwu Nwabueze, together with
her fellow members, visited Barrister Sullivan Chime’s stooge who doubles as
the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Edward Ubosi, in his office.
While
speaking with the Honourable Speaker, Mrs. Nwabueze made it clear that women were
not demanding to be given positions in the society equal to that of men, but
that they should be given their fair share in the society. According to her, five
states have passed the bill into law. She pleaded with Enugu state Government to
follow suit.
In his
response, the Honourable Speaker, Edward Ubosi promised the women that the
house under his leadership would look into the bill, adding that it had been
presented to the House during the last plenary but was not granted owing to the
incompetence of its sponsors. God save Enugu State legislature that parades
some incompetent lawmakers. No wonder all the commissioner nominees that were
interviewed by them all passed.
Hon. Ubosi
also recommended to the women group to once again present the bill to the
Committee on Gender Affairs when the House Committees are constituted.
