The Bill, “ Federal University of Technology, Ilaro, Ogun State SB 345, 2024” was sponsored by the Senator representing Ogun West, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, as his direct response to the yearning for a new dawn in education development in Ogun West.

 

The bill, as sponsored by the Senator, was previously passed by the 9th Senate but could no go for concurrence by House of Representatives and Presidential assent before the end of the session.

 

The passing of the same bill by the Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio led 10th Senate is the second time it was passed by the Nigeria Senate.

 

The bill will now go for concurrence at the House of Representatives after which it will move to the table of the President for possible assent to make the dream of all patriotic Ogun Westerners a reality.
