• Anti-Tobacco Bill Won't Affect Firms - Adedibu  

Chairman Senate Committee on Industry, Kamorudeen Adedibu, has assured that the anti-tobacco bill will be amended before it is passed to law.

Adedibu, who spoke with journalists in Ibadan at the weekend, maintained that the bill will be amended in such a way that it will not be to the disadvantage of tobacco companies in the country.

According to him, the bill is currently before the Senate Committee on Health headed by Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello. . . .

"We know that cigarette smoking is not good, but we want to find job opportunities for our people. The bill will be amended in such a way that it will not force tobacco companies in the country to close down," he said.
