The house of representatives has rescinded its decision on three “gender bills” in the constitution amendment.

The bills are:

1. Bill to expand scope of citizenship by registration.

2. Affirmative action for women in political party administration.

3. Provision for criteria to be indigene of a state in Nigeria.

The lower legislative chamber rescinded its decision on the bills after Hassan Fulata, chairman house committee on business and rules, moved a motion.
