19 Nov Buhari Signs Climate Change, AMCON Bills Into Law
President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the Climate Change Act and the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (Amendment) Act recently passed by the National Assembly into law.
Both bills have now become part of the laws of the federation.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, the Climate Change Act owes its origin to a bill sponsored by a member of the House of Representatives, Sam Onuigbo and provides for, among other things, the mainstreaming of climate change actions and the establishment of a National Council on Climate Change.
It also paves the way for environmental and economic accounting and a push for a net-zero emission deadline plan in the country.
The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, which amends the AMCON Act No.4, 2010, provides for the extension of the tenor of the Resolution Cost Fund and grants access to the Special Tribunal established by the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act 2020. It is help AMCON make recoveries and for debtors to fulfil their commitments to banks.
