Forty-two constitutional amendment bills scaled second reading in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, including the one to remove the immunity conferred on the vice president, governors, and their deputies.

It is among 32 Constitution amendment bills that scaled second reading in the House of Representatives on the day.

Also among the bills is a bill for an Act to alter the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to provide for specific seats for women in the national assembly and state houses of assembly.

Another is a bill for an Act to alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to reduce the lengthy period for determination of pre-election petition matters and provide for the establishment of pre-election tribunals for pre-election matters and regulate the process of suspending a member of the national assembly from legislative duties.
