Members of the House of Representatives have rescinded their decision on three bills earlier rejected in the process of the 1999 constitution amendment.
The bills are on indigenship, citizenship, and 35% affirmative action for women.
The bills will be recommended for consideration and will be part of the second batch of the constitutional amendment to be presented in a couple of months.
The women, under the aegis of Nigerian Women Groups last week protested against the action of the lawmakers after rejecting all bills relating to women.
The groups demand that the Federal lawmakers take another look at the requests for 111 seats for women, citizenship, 35% representation in party leadership, more appointive positions in government, and vote in favour of these amendments.
