Kaduna lawmaker Amos sponsors key bills, empowers constituents, supports security efforts

From Ahmad A. Usman, Kafanchan

A bill seeking to transfer full ownership of all National Assembly properties from the control of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) back to the Assembly has scaled its first reading in the House of Representatives.

The bill, co-sponsored by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, and the Chairman, House Committee on Services, Hon. Daniel Amos, aims to correct what lawmakers described as an “anomaly” in the current ownership structure.

Speaking to journalists in Kafanchan, Hon. Daniel Amos, who represents Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, stated that it was abnormal for the National Assembly, an independent arm of government, to function as a “tenant” under the FCTA.

“If passed into law, this bill will ensure that all National Assembly properties, both within and outside Nigeria, are fully owned by the legislature,” he said.

Hon. Amos reaffirmed the 10th Assembly’s dedication, particularly the House of Representatives, to enacting laws that enhance governance and improve the lives of Nigerians.

Highlighting his legislative achievements, he noted his sponsorship of a motion on public and urgent importance, as well as a bill on LNG sustainability. He also sponsored a bill seeking the establishment of the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia, Kaduna State, which, according to him, would not only serve his constituency but also benefit the entire state and the nation.

Beyond his legislative duties, Hon. Amos has brought various developmental projects, particularly in agriculture and education. He has also empowered youths and women, a commitment he vowed to continue.

Additionally, he reiterated his unwavering support for security agencies in tackling insecurity and urged the public to remain vigilant by reporting any suspicious activities for prompt action.
