Many frown upon what they thought was the recognition of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, LGBT, rights.

However, the House has directed its Committee on National Planning to investigate the agreement within four weeks.

The House resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance moved by the Minority Leader, Aliyu Madaki, and 87 others on the floor of the House on Tuesday.
