National Confab votes for removal of Immunity Clause from Constitution

• Says privatisation exercise lacks transparency
• Fashola tasks N’Assembly on changes to electoral laws

THE ongoing National Conference yesterday voted overwhelmingly for the removal of immunity clause from the constitution.

  As Conference Committee, Vice Chairman Bolaji Akinyemi, read out the recommendation from the committee report, he was informed by some of the delegates that a similar recommendation had been made earlier. However, after searching for the said proposal supposedly made earlier, it was discovered that it was not considered.

Kudos, Knocks as National Conference begins Monday

  This is coming about five-and-half months after he approved the membership and terms of reference of an Advisory Committee on National Dialogue headed by Dr. Femi Okurounmu. MONDAY, what may go down in history as one of the landmark achievements of the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Administration, the National Conference, will be inaugurated by the President himself. That the inauguration is taking place can be interpreted to mean that, despite protests, some of them quite loud, the Federal Government intends to push the National Conference through, hoping fervently that in the end, it would turn out to have been in the best interest of Nigeria.
