A new official report released on the
authority of the former House speaker and
current governor of Sokoto state, Aminu
Tambuwal, has shown that of the 360
members in the old assembly, there were
191 who did not sponsor a single bill in
four years.
The official report was tagged “Status of
Bills, Petitions and Other Legislative
Measures,” and it had some high profile
names like the current deputy speaker of
the House, Yusuf Lasun (Osun, APC) and a
former candidate for speaker,
Abdulmumin Jibrin (Kano, APC).
The official publication was put together
by the Hon. Albert Sam-Tsokwa-led Rules
and Business Committee of the 7th
House.
It said a total of 755 bills were introduced
to the House and they were all read for
the first time on the floor of the House.
679 of the bills were initiated by private
members, six were sent from the Senate
while 70 were executive bills. Only 123 of
them were passed by the House including
the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) before
its tenure expired on June 6, 2015.
The lawmakers who sponsored the highest
number of bills were Hon. Ali Ahmad
(APC, Kwara), Hon. Uzoma Nkem Abonta
(PDP, Abia) and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila
(APC, Lagos) who sponsored 36, 32 and 20
bills respectively.
Current House speaker, Hon. Yakubu
Dogara (Bauchi, APC), who was a member
of the 7th House, sponsored seven bills
including the Data Protection Bill (HB.45)
2011. However, his deputy, Lasun Yusuf
(Osun/APC), who was also a member of
the 7th House, did not sponsor any bill,
according to the official report which
covered the period between June 6, 2011
and June 5, 2015.
