Governors want Infectious Diseases Bill stepped down by Johnnieblacc(m): Thu 14, May, 2020 11:38am
The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) led by Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has asked the National Assembly to step down the Infectious Diseases Bill sponsored by Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila.

The Bill seeks to ensure compulsory vaccination of citizens against infectious diseases, make possession of health card mandatory for international travellers leaving or arriving in Nigeria just like yellow fever card, and repeal the Quarantine Act.

Fayemi in a statement he signed, on Wednesday, after a virtual meeting with other Governors called for the bill to be stepped down pending an appropriate public hearing to gather public opinion and concerns.


Following an update from the Governor of Sokoto State and Vice Chairman of the NGF, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, on the proposed Control of Infectious Diseases Bill, 2020 introduced by the House of Representatives, Governors raised concern with the lack of consultation with State governments who are at the forefront of the epidemic.
