This followed series of deliberations by Members of the House, where the bill was unanimously passed into law.
Deputy Speaker Mrs Afiniki Eunice Dauda who presided over the plenary directed the Clerk of the House, Malam Farouq Umar Isah, to transmit five clean copies to the Executive for assent.
Similarly Niger State House of Assembly has set up a seven member Ad-Hoc Committee to investigate alleged negligence at the Jummai Babangida Aliyu Neonatal and Maternal Hospital, Minna, and other complaints against the services of the hospital that led to the death of a patient.
The decision to set up the Ad-Hoc Committee was sequel to a Motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Mohammed Abubakar, Member Representing Chanchaga Constituency.
Presenting his motion, Mr Abubakar highlighted the alleged negligence that led to the death of a patient, the wife of Umar Shehu, while undergoing fibroid surgery due to power outage and faulty generator.
According to him the hospital’s management allegedly failed to ensure alternative power sources, leading to a delay in the surgery and ultimately, the patient’s death and emphasized the need for hospitals to prioritize patient safety and well-being.
