    By Our Correspondent


    The House of Representatives in Abuja on Wednesday received a bill for the control of small and light weapons from President Muhammadu Buhari.

     Femi Gbajabiamila, the Right Honourable Speaker of the House while reading the letter from Buhari dated Aug.26, said that the bill is for the consideration of the House.

     He said that the bill for the control of small and light weapon when operational, would help in the fight against proliferation of light weapons. 

    Gbajabiamila said that the President also sent a letter on Aug. 27 for a bill to repeal the Explosives Act of 1994. 

    Also, the President wrote a letter on Aug. 24 to seek a concurrence approval for external borrowing for the 2018 to 2021 to enable the Federal Government complete its ongoing projects across the country. 

    Meanwhile, a new member, Hon Ahmed Mohammed was sworn-in as the House of Representatives member, representing Lere Sulaiman Federal Constituency of Kaduna State.

     It would be recalled that the former member, representing Lere Suleiman died in March in Kaduna State. 

    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted a by-election into the constituency after the House had declared the seat vacant and notified the commission to conduct election before it went on recess.

     The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate,Hon Mohammed, however won the bye election. (NAN)
