The Ebonyi State House of Assembly has passed an executive bill aimed at regulating the trade of metal and electrical scraps, standardising residential rent, and agency fees across that state.

During Tuesday’s plenary at the Assembly Complex Speaker, Moses Odunwa, cited the law as the Ebonyi State Sale of Scraps, House Rent, and Agent Fees Regulation Law 2026, saying that it came into effect immediately upon passage on August 11, 2026.

Odunwa said that the legislation establishes strict regulatory frameworks to curb public property vandalism, checkmate environmental degradation, and eliminate exploitative practices within Ebonyi’s real estate market.

Also Presenting the merits of the executive bill, Leader of the House Kingsley Ikoro urged his colleagues to give the measure swift passage, emphasising its role in safeguarding public infrastructure and protecting vulnerable tenants.
