A new bill to establish Adamawa State Electricity Commission saddled with the responsibility of generating power has scaled 1st reading at the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
The bill scaled 1st reading at the hallowed chamber presided by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bathiya Wesley, and since scheduled for 2nd reading at the next legislative day.
The resolution to read the bill for the first time followed a motion by its Sponsor and Member representing Shelleng constituency, Hon. Kantomon Bulus Naphtali, during the resumed sitting on Monday.
The bill is tagged, "A Bill for a Law to establish the Adamawa State Electricity Commission for the Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electricity in Adamawa State and to provide for other matters incidental thereto".
According to the Sponsor, Hon. Kantomon Bulus, the bill was meticulously crafted to establish new commission to explore abundant sources of power in Adamawa State with a view to generating power for the state.
Hon. Kantomon said that the new commission will generate electricity which according to him will go along way in boosting economic activities as well as making life comfortable for the citizens.
The Lawmaker explained that there are multiple sources of power such as Kiri Dam in his constituency which can be used by the new commission if finally established to provide power for the citizens.
Likewise, the member has also sponsored a bill for a law to establish Adamawa State Security Trust Fund and other matters incidental therewith.
After reading the bills sequel to motions to that effect by its Sponsor, Hon. Kantomon Bulus, the Speaker of the Assembly, Rt. Hon. Bathiya Wesley, directed the Chairman Rules and Business of the assembly to schedule it for 2 reading.
