Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio has urged the Plateau State Government to strengthen town planning laws to prevent future building collapses, following a recent tragedy that claimed students’ lives.
Sen. Akpabio made the remarks during a courtesy visit from Plateau State Governor, Mr. Caleb Mutfwang, accompanied by some Traditional Rulers.
Governor Mutfwang stated that he and his team visited the National Assembly for the Public Hearing on the Nigerian Institute of Mining and Geosciences (Repeal and Enactment) Bill, 2024.
The Bill is expected to upgrade the Mining and Geoscience Institute to a full-fledged University and the Governor expressed the hope that his State would be the host for the University.
