Nigerian Senate has said votes on the Constitution Review
will be done electronically and will also be transmitted live on television
stations.
Senate President, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan stated this in his
remark to close Wednesday’s plenary.
Lawan directed the Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji
Uzor Kalu to ensure the functionality of the electronic gadgets in the red
chamber so as not to constitute any encumbrance during proceedings.
He insisted that no excuse will be entertained for the
equipment in the chamber not to work effectively as the Constitution Review was
a strategic legislative activity.
“Distinguished Senators, we shall cast votes on Constitution
Review from Tuesday next week which will last for two days.
“The Chief of the Senate should ensure that all our
electronic gadgets are properly checked and are functioning”, he said.
The Constitution Review Report which was earlier laid on the
floor of the chambers by the Constitution Review Committee Chairman and Deputy
Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege on Wednesday would be deliberated for two days
beginning from Tuesday 1st March to Wednesday 2nd.
The Constitution Review Report was laid on Wednesday on the
floor of the Senate which was witnessed by the first lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari.
