Nigeria In One Minute
N’Assembly Received Only 12 Bills from Executive in Three Years
The 8th National Assembly since its inauguration on June 9, 2015 has only received 12 Bills from the Executive arm of government.
Findings carried out by Thisday at the National Assembly reveal that the Bills apart from the statutory budget-related ones were sent to both Senate and House of Representatives at the rate of four Bills per year.
On its part, the legislature during the period under review had passed 213 Bills and also cleared 138 petitions from members of the public.
Available records show that of all the 12 Bills presented by the Executive in three years, only two have inkling to the anti-corruption mantra that brought the Buhari- led administration into office on May 29, 2015.
