Assembly To Check Sex For Marks

Within the week under review Speaker Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.Ikuinyi -Owaji Ibani charged the House Committee  on Education to be more  proactive in view of the sexual harassment in institutions across the country.
Rt Hon. Ibanie who made the charge on  the floor of the house during plenary last Thursday said the committee must reach out to institutions in the state in order to curb the  act which described as inimical to students in the state.
Ibani who is the lawmaker representing Andoni constituency urged the committee to beam its searchlight on all state institutions to unravel misdeeds.
He insisted that the committee must reach out to give defence to the girl child and the male in institutions across the state.
Expectedly, the prediction of Nigerian Meteorological  agency (NIMET)over flood affected areas in the state, has attracted  the attention of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The House had last Thursday  resolved to invite local government chairmen and the Ministry of Environment to make necessary plans for flood affected areas in the state.
Meanwhile, last Friday, the House held a valedictory session for one of their late former colleague Oha Samuel Ikechi Amadi
The lawmakers described, the late Amadi today  as a great achiever.
Majority leader of the House, Hon. Martin Amaewhule, Sam Ogeh of Emuoha constituency, Azeru Opara and Enemi George of Asari- Toru constituency 2, in their separate speeches said the late Amadi was a social crusader and always vocal on the rights of his people.
According to them, his legacies inspired them, noting that he crested legacies that outlived him
They prayed God to protect and guide his family while urging them to emulate the lifestyle of their late father and never to allow the legacy to die.
Also speaking, Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ikwuinyi -Owaji Ibani, noted that if communities and societies should emulate the lifestyle of the late lawmaker, society will be a better place.
