The Senate recently passed two amendment bills aimed at clarifying the host communities of the Federal University of Medical and Health Sciences and the Federal College of Education in Bende, Abia State. The bills, HB.2775 and HB.2776, were transmitted by the House of Representatives for concurrence and seek to remove ambiguity over the institutions' locations and host communities.
Senate Chief Whip Tahir Monguno argued that the amendments were necessary to prevent potential communal disputes over the institutions' locations.
