Delta Assembly Signs Electricity Bill Into Law

The Electricity Power Sector Bill 2024 has been signed into law by the Delta State House of Assembly.

The executive bill, which was fast tracked, was passed on Wednesday after its third reading during a plenary session presided over by Speaker Dennis Guwor.

The House Majority Leader, Emeka Nwaobi, had earlier moved a motion to suspend Order 12, Rules 79-83 of the Assembly’s standing rules, to allow for the third reading and passage of the bill.

The motion, seconded by PDP member Frank Esenwah, representing Oshimili North Constituency, was unanimously adopted when put to a voice vote by the Speaker.

After the bill’s passage, the Speaker expressed his delight, noting that once signed into law by the Governor, it would help boost the electricity supply and stimulate economic activities in the state.

“Distinguished colleagues, I sincerely appreciate your support and contributions throughout the legislative process of this bill. I am grateful for your immense efforts in improving the electricity sector of the state,” he said.
