The executive bill  was passed  on Wednesday after its third reading at the  plenary session  in Asaba presided over by the  Speaker Dennis Guwor.

Emeka Nwaobi, the House Majority Leader, had earlier moved a motion to suspend Order 12, Rules 79-83 of the Assembly’s standing rules, to allow for the third reading and passage of the bill.

The motion, seconded by PDP member Frank Esenwah, representing Oshimili North Constituency, was unanimously adopted when put to a voice vote by the Speaker.

After the bill’s passage, the Speaker expressed his delight, noting that once signed into law by the Governor, it would help boost the electricity supply and stimulate economic activities in the state.

He said, “The passage of this bill represents a significant step in improving electricity supply in the state. I believe it will promote living standards and enhance the overall well-being of the people of Delta State.”

The Speaker commended the lawmakers for their dedication and contributions to the bill’s passage.

Distinguished colleagues, I sincerely appreciate your support and contributions throughout the legislative process of this bill. I am grateful for your immense efforts in improving the electricity sector of the state,” he said.
