Drama As Bill Prohibiting Cross-Dressing Fails Second Reading

The PUNCH reports that a Bill seeking to prohibit cross-dressing in Nigeria has failed to pass second reading.

The bill failed to pass the second reading at the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Deputy Speaker of the House, Ahmed Wase, who presided over the day’s plenary, advised the sponsor, Muda Umar, to step it down as it does not capture the multi-cultural nature of the country.
