ABUJA – The upper chamber of the National Assembly on Tuesday move prisons, railways and power generation from the Exclusive to Concurrent list.
This is even as the review to include Value Added Tax on the Exclusive Legislative List failed to scale through.
The Bill on the prison was to “delete prisons in the Exclusive Legislative List and Redesignate it as Correctional Service in the Concurrent Legislative List; and for Related Matters.”
The Bill on the Railway was “to move Railway from the Exclusive Legislative List to Concurrent Legislative List; and for Related Matters.”
The Bill on power generation was “to allow States Generate, Transmit and Distribute Electricity in Area covered by the National Grid; and for Related Matters.”
Meanwhile, in spite of the lobby by the wife of Mr President, Aisha Buhari, the Senate failed to provide for special seats for women in the National and State House of Assembly.
