12:21Now PlayingIt is the 18th week of the National Conference and it appears the end of the conference is in sight.
The 18th week was eventful with four committees' reports considered and approved.
With the warning of the secretariat that any member that fails to attend plenary will be made to forfeit his or her allowance clear to all, the conference had a better attendance as delegates returned to their seats.
They started with the consideration of the report of the committee on law, judiciary and legal reforms.
The conference also rejected the recommendation to have prisons service moved from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent list.
The next report to be considered was that of the committee on Foreign Policy and Diaspora and a key amendment is to allow Nigerians in diaspora vote in future elections.
But one amendment that sought to have the excesses of first ladies and politicians in using diplomats for unofficial purposes curtailed brought the deputy chairman, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, to a stop.
The consideration of report of the Committee on National Security was the most eventful.
Moments of silence were observed during the week for victims of the bomb blast at a public health college in Kano state on Monday and victims of the bomb blast that rocked Abuja on Wednesday.
A Cross River delegate, Dr. Pius Tabi Tawo, was the guest of the week on Re-thinking Nigeria and he started with his view of the conference so far.
The conference has three more weeks to go and three committee reports pending. The reports are very key and are expected to be well debated.
