According to  Daily Independent,the Secretariat of the National Conference has on Thursday in Abuja, released the Draft Rules of Proceedings to guide the conduct of the delegates to the conference.

Mr Akpandem James, Assistant Secretary, Media and Communications of the Conference, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the Rules would be adopted by the delegates on Monday.

“The Draft Rules and the 1999 Constitution have been ready since 6 a.m. this morning and we have made them available to the delegates to study.

“However, it is only a draft; it is going to be debated clause by clause by the delegates on Monday. If they (delegates) adopt it, then it becomes the Rules guiding the conference.
“But if there is any clause they feel should be amended or rejected, then they will decide at the  plenary on Monday.
“What we are trying to do as a secretariat is to make the delegates as comfortable as possible to ensure smooth proceedings throughout the conference,” James said.
NAN reports that some of the delegates had already collected copies of the Draft Rules and the 1999 Constitution.
