By DESMOND MGBOH

He said the bill when passed, would seek to protect the rights of the child and would be transmitted to the State House of Assembly for passage and subsequent assent the governor.
Garba said that other approvals by the council include the release of N29, 311, 647.24 million for the 2020/2021 vaccination exercise which has not been holding for three years as a result of the prevailing health risk and high economic loss affecting the pastoral community in the state.
