The dividends of democracy within our socio-political society when the people elected at the helms of power do the much needed to bring this benefits to the people. Going by this, the society must applaud and celebrate public officials who commit themselves to ensuring this reality. Hon. Adejoro Adeogun, Federal Representative representing Akoko Sousth East/Akoko South West constituency in the 9th National Assembly is definitely hitting the right buttons as he has continued to through policy making advance the interest of his people at the Green Chamber.
The highly proactive lawmaker recently at the House of Assembly sponsored a bill to repeal the fire service act of CAP F29 laws of federation of Nigeria 2004 and enact the fire and emergency service Act 2021 to provide additional powers and expansion of responsibilities of fire service.
While presenting the bill on the floor of the house, he stated, “the narrow scope of responsibility precludes non-fire disasters such as flooding, building collapse, air and road accidents and other natural disasters that may or may not be accompanied by fire and for which emergency rescue is required.
According to the details produced, the Bill also seeks to introduce stricter penalties for violation of building codes, fire regulations, impersonation of fire service personnel and unlawful disclosure of privileges information obtained in the course of emergencies.
This Bill has generated positive reaction from the members of the public who has continued to pour endless encomiums for the lawmaker for his laudable efforts aimed at making life easier for the people.
