Abia State Assembly Advances Key Bills, Defers Three Others as Plenary Adjourns
The Abia State House of Assembly has advanced legislative work on key bills aimed at strengthening governance, housing, education, and economic development across the state.
During plenary, the House considered the report of its Committee on Lands and Housing on H.A.B. 34, the Abia State Real Estate, Landlords and Tenants Bill, 2025, in the Committee of the Whole. Lawmakers also considered H.A.B. 6, the Abia State University (Amendment) Bill, 2026, as part of ongoing efforts to review and strengthen existing laws.
However, the House deferred consideration of three other important bills to a future legislative sitting. The affected bills are H.A.B. 28 of 2025, the Abia Market Survey and Protection Bill; H.A.B. 29 of 2025, the Abia State Poverty Alleviation Trust Fund Bill; and H.A.B. 7 of 2025, the Abia State Sports Development Fund Bill.
The postponement is expected to allow for further legislative scrutiny and deliberations before the bills are taken up for consideration.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
Following the day’s proceedings, the Speaker adjourned plenary to reconvene on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. for the continuation of legislative business
