BONNY LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MOVES TO REVIEW TRANSPORTATION BYE-LAW

~As Bill Passes First and Second Reading

The Bonny Legislative Council (10th Assembly) has commenced the process of reviewing and amending the Bonny Local Government Transportation Bye-Law No. 2 of 2002, a strategic move aimed at strengthening the transportation framework within the Local Government Area. The motion, presented during plenary on Thursday, March 5, 2026, by the Chief Whip and Councillor representing Ward 4, Hon. Edwin Uriah Benstowe, underscored the urgent need to update the existing legislation to reflect present-day transportation realities within the LGA.

Presenting the motion, Hon. Benstowe noted that the current bye-law, enacted in 2002, was largely centered on marine transportation and has become outdated in view of the expanding road network and increasing vehicular activities across the LGA. He emphasized that the proposed amendment will broaden the scope of the law to effectively regulate land transportation, enhance safety and security awareness within the sector, strengthen vehicular control mechanisms, and improve revenue generation, particularly the construction of Bonny–Bodo Road and other road infrastructure projects.

Following deliberations, the Leader of the 10th Assembly, Rt. Hon. Kingsley Tammy Jumbo, commended the Chief Whip for the timely motion, and proceeded with the First and Second Reading. The proposed amendment was committed to the House Committee on Transportation for further legislative action while scheduling a public hearing, in recognition of the bill’s significant public interest and its role in promoting an efficient, safe, and well-regulated transportation system within Bonny Local Government Area.
