The Senate on Wednesday passed the Public-Private
Partnership Regulatory Commission Bill, 2022.
The Chartered Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2022, was also passed.
The passage followed the consideration and adoption of
separate reports of the Committees on Works and Establishment and Public
Service.
Sen. Emmanuel Orker-Jev (PDP- Benue) said the Chartered
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Nigeria (Establishment)
Bill sought to provide the requisite legal and institutional framework for the
Institute.
It is expected to provide the necessary legal regime for the
effective specialisation, standardisation and professionalism of the field of
engineering in Nigeria.
The Public-Private Partnership Regulatory Commission Bill,
2022, was presented by Sen. Adamu Aliero ((PDP-Kebbi ).
The bill seeks to strengthen and enhance the supervisory
role of the commission and position it in regulating the participation of the
public and private sectors.
Speaking on the PPP Bill, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan said
Nigeria has so much infrastructural deficit but little resources.
“It is important that we diversify our sources of funding of
our infrastructural development”, he noted.
