This is in response to the legislative chamber’s directive that the Committee on National Planning look into the agreement and provide a report for additional legislative action in four weeks.

The House resolution followed a motion of urgent public significance that Deputy Minority Leader Aliyu Madaki and 87 other members of the House presented to the floor of the green chamber on Tuesday during plenary.

The main legislative framework governing the European Union’s interactions with 79 nations is the Samoa Agreement. 48 African, 16 Caribbean, and 15 Pacific nations are included in this.

In its main story last week, it was reported that the deal included a provision that would have made same-sex relationships legal in Nigeria.

The Federal Government of Nigeria responded by refuting the report and claiming that there is “existing legislation against same-sex relationships” in the country. Legal action against the media outlet was also threatened.
