Reps consider 2,263 bills in 2 years
…51 bills received presidential assent
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt (Hon) Abbas Tajudeen, has said the House considered 2,263 bills within the first two years of the 10th Assembly.
Tajudeen made this known on Thursday at a special joint sitting of the National Assembly with President Bola Tinubu to mark the 2025 Democracy Day and the second anniversary of the 10th National Assembly.
He said that after the inauguration of the current parliament on 13 June, 2023, the House launched an eight‑point Legislative Agenda which aligned with the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Within two years, we have reviewed 2,263 bills. Of these, 65.3 per cent have passed Second Reading, while 186 have been successfully passed.
“A total of 51 bills have received presidential assent, marking an unprecedented milestone for any president in his first two years,” he said.
Tajudeen said that the legislative efforts of the House had yielded measurable progress on multiple fronts.
“The House of Representatives has actively conducted oversight of executive agencies to ensure that laws are implemented and that development funds are allocated properly. The House Public Accounts Committee has reported recoveries exceeding N61.5 billion in outstanding debts owed to the federal government by oil and gas companies.
“We have also deepened transparency through our biannual Youth and Women’s Town Halls, an annual live televised citizens’ interactive session,” he said.
