Media Practitioners in Adamawa state may smile home soon as bill aimed at improving their working condition on Wednesday scaled through second reading at the House of Assembly.
The second reading of the bill followed a motion to that effect by its sponsor, Hon. Japhet Kefas(Gombi) and seconded by Hon. Abdullashi Umar Yapak(Verre).
The bill is seeking to increase the retirement years and other allowences for media workers so as to enhance their condition of the service for effective performance.
After the seconding reading of the bill, the speaker of the assembly, Rt. Hon. Aminu Iya Abbas, constituted 6 man committee headed by Hon. Simon Isa (Song) to scrutinise it and given 3 weeks within which to submit its report.
The members of the ad hoc committee include; Hon. Kate Raymond Mamuno(Demsa), Hon. Abdullahi Umar Yapak(Verre), Hon. Adwawa Donglock(Guyuk), Hon. Alhassan Hammanjoda(Ganye) and Hon. Bauna Myandassa(Lamurde).
If finally enacted and assented to by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the law will not only improve the working condition of the media workers but promote productivity, effectiveness and efficiency in the media industry.
