Ayi who is the fifth term member of the federal house representing Bakassi, Calabar South and Akpabuyo Federal Constituency, said the bill has passed the first reading in the lower chamber hoping that it will be passed by the two chambers of the National Assembly.
He assured that the challenges facing the displaced people of Bakassi, will be addressed by the Commission if signed by the President.
