<\/a><\/b>AT <\/b>last, the end of darkness in the African continent is at sight, as United States House of Representatives Congress in its latest bill introduced in the House by Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman, Foreign Affairs and Senior Democratic Congressman, Eliot Engel (D-NY) are sad and pained that 7 out of 10 people living in Africa don\u2019t have access to electricity, pregnant mothers give birth in the dark; families cannot refrigerate their food, while kids are forced to do their homework at night with just a candle or a flashlight.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/b>The Bill<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b>Naija Standard<\/i><\/b> <\/b>gathered that this bill titled: \u2018It\u2019s Time to Electrify Africa\u2019 <\/b>presently on the floor of the House of Representatives has been applauded by the majority lawmakers believing that once this bill is passed and jointly agreed by the Senate, Africa will witness fast progress, industrialization and rapid development that would generate massive employment for the youths and keep them away from being \u2018idle\u2019 or engaging in any form of breakdown of law and order.<\/p>\n
Other aim of this Bill<\/b><\/p>\n
Naija Standard<\/i><\/b> investigation showed that once this bill is passed jointly by the lawmakers in both the higher and lower house of the legislatures, then militancy, piracy, terrorism as being witnessed in various nations in Africa would either seized or come to a bearable minimum since all the youths would have been duly and lawfully engaged in their various profession or vocation of learning.<\/p>\n
African communities in America Rejoice<\/b><\/p>\n
From Nigerian to South African communities, Kenyan to Liberian Communities, Ghanaian to Ivorian Communities, Tanzanian to Zimbabwean Communities; and other parts of Africa; it has been happiness, celebration and rejoicing as they all await this bill to quickly be passed into law.<\/p>\n
