It is just like yesterday that Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila took over the mantle of leadership as the Speaker of the 9th House of Representatives. Four years down
He came up with the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill. But as is the case in Nigeria, there were media campaigns and outright lies against the bill. However, Gbajabiamila was vindicated when everyone, including our leaders, queued up to take the COVID-19 vaccine several months after he advocated for it in his bill.
After the nationwide lockdown necessitated by COVID-19, the House had to review its legislative agenda to accommodate certain things. The document was christened ‘Our Contract with Nigerians.’ Nigerians will not forget in a hurry Gbajabiamila’s role in persuading members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in October 2022 to call off their 8-month strike, which they embarked on in February 2022. ASUU and the Federal Government went back and forth for several months, and there had been deadlocks on many occasions.
