The Leader then read the bill clause-by-clause before the members. Next, the Majority Leader, Hon Naimu Olaleye, moved the motion for the third reading, which was seconded by Hon Lateef Shittu. The Clerk of the House, Mr Ibrahim Kassimu, then performed the third reading of the bill, and it was finally passed without any adjustment.
