The Nigerian Senate Passes the Federal University of Education, Numan Bill for an Act of Parliament

Following deliberations of the committee of the whole Senate, which looked at the merits of establishing the Federal University of Education, Numan sponsored by Distinguished Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe, the upper legislative chamber on Thursday unanimously gave its nod for passage of the bill for an Act of Parliament.

The President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio formally gave this verdict, after a voice vote supported by the majority of senators present at Thursday’s plenary.

The President of the Senate used the forum to formally thank Distinguished Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe, representing Adamawa South Senatorial District for his tireless effort in sponsoring and pursuing the bill to its logical end, adding that his colleagues who stoutly supported the bill from its infancy stage to its current level, equally deserve commendation.

It could be recalled, that the bill for an Act seeking to establish the Federal University of Education, Numan was passed by the Ninth Senate in 2023, but could not be assented to by the immediate past administration due to time factors.
