They also rejected an amendment to the motion asking lawmakers to adopt at least one school each in their constituency, and pay the exam fees of the pupils.
But house Leader, Julius Ihonvbare, who supported the motion, said the lawmakers should lead by example by adopting at least one school in their constiruency and pay either the WAEC or NECO fees of the pupils. But former House Leader, Alhasaan Ado Doguwa, warned against adopting the motion, saying it could put th lawmakers in trouble.He said while the motion was timely and people-oriented, it was dangerous adopting it as that will give it the Assembly’s weight, thereby pressurising members.
He thus asked the House to either step down the motion or throw it out completely ‘as the parliament lacks the power to ensure compliance with its prayers’.
