The Speaker, Rt. Hon. Suraju Ishola Adekunbi gave the charge, while responding to the submissions of the members representing Yewa North II State Constituency, Hon. Rasaq Oduntan and His Ijebu North I State constituency counterpart, Bowale Solaja under Personal Explanation who both complained of incessant invasion of farmlands and villages by herdsmen in their constituencies.
Earlier in their presentations, the lawmakers described the herdsmen attacks as barbaric, saying 21 lives had been lost, while others sustained various injuries in the crises, which often occured on annual basis.
In another development, members of the public have been urged to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) being put in place by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register preparatory to the forthcoming general elections next year.
The Speaker, Rt. Hon Suraju Ishola Adekunbi made the call while responding to submissions of members representing Ijebu North East, Hon Jimi Otukoya and his Ifo II counterpart, Ganiyu Oyedeji who emphasised the need for the electoral body to put in place more measures towards ensuring timely accessibility of their Permanent Voter Card (PVC).
Adekunbi, who lauded the commencement of the voters registration by INEC, charged the Commission to tune up its enlightenment and sensitisation programmes to the populace on the importance of the exercise to mobilise more citizens to participate.
