The House of Representatives has agreed to reconsider three of the gender bills it earlier rejected.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, called for a rescission of the votes on the affected bills after the lawmakers held an executive session on Tuesday.
Gbajabiamila noted that the bills would be included in the second batch of amendment bills to be considered in about four weeks’ time.
After the lawmakers unanimously approved the reversal via voice vote, female members of the House as well as some male counterparts gave the Speaker a standing ovation.
