Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the committee on Tuesday, Doguwa said the committee is charged with a mandate of utmost significance which is to meticulously review and amend the Act, ensuring _it is robust, forward-looking, and reflective of best practices.”
He said the true measure of legislation is not in its passage but in its execution and adaptability.
