In a week of significant legislative accomplishments, the Delta State House of Assembly, under the leadership of the Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor has achieved notable milestones with the successful passage of two crucial bills into law: The Delta State Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Cultism Amendment, and the Delta State Colleges of Education Bill 2025. These legislative victories reflect the commitment and diligence of the Delta State Lawmakers.
The Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Cultism (Amendment) Bill is seen as a major step toward enhancing security throughout the state. Speaker Guwor praised the members for their dedication, emphasizing the importance of this bill in safeguarding Delta State. The Delta State Colleges of Education Bill 2025, on the other hand, aims to create a unified legal framework for all state-owned Colleges of Education. This law seeks to improve coordination, promote standardization, and ultimately improve the quality of education provided by teachers and lecturers in the state.
Both bills, passed into law after the rigorous exercise of scrutinizing the bills clause by clause and section by section by the committee of the whole house, was moved by the House Leader, Hon. Engr. Emeka Nwaobi, and seconded by both Hon. Charles Emetulu for the colleges of Education Bill, and Hon. Matthew Omonade for the Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Cultism Amendment Bill.
In addition to the passage of these bills, the Assembly also adopted the report of its Committee on Finance and Appropriation on the Delta State Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) 2026–2028. Chaired by Hon. Marylin Okowa-Daramola, the committee’s report outlined the state’s fiscal assumptions, economic analysis, and budgetary framework for the medium-term period, covering 2023 to 2028. This adoption highlights the Assembly’s proactive approach to financial planning and economic stability.
