President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday signed eight bills passed by the National Assembly into law.
Ita Enang, the Special Adviser to the President on National
Assembly Matters, Senate, disclosed this on Friday in Abuja, while
briefing State House correspondents.
According to him, the bills signed into law are: Prevention of
Crime Amendment Act, 2016; and The National Crop Varieties and
Livestock Breeds (Registration) Amendment Act, 2016.
Others were: Telecommunications and Postal Offences Amendment Act,
2016; The National Agricultural Land Development Authority Amendment
Act 2016; and The Produce Enforcement of Export Standards Amendment
Act 2016.
Also signed by the President were: The Agricultural and Rural
Management Training Institute Amendment Act 2016; Bee Import Control
and Management Amendment Act 2016; and Water Resources Amendment Act
2016.
Mr. Enang said that the President expressed appreciation to leadership and members of National Assembly “for the great work they did in considering the bills and the details that have gone in to consider the bills.
“Mr President considers the act as very vital to the present
administration and in consonant with All Progressive Congress’s agenda
and thanked the National Assembly.’’
He said the president also directed Ministries, Departments and
Agencies (MDAs) and all government functionaries to always participate
actively and make inputs when new bills were being considered.
Mr. Enang commended the president for assenting the eight bills at a
time, saying “this is unprecedented because this is the very first time
in this administration that eight bills are forwarded to him at a go
for assent.
“In all my years in the National Assembly except for the 46
bills which were passed a day to the end of that administration, no such
number of bills had been passed and forwarded at once to the president
for assent and no such number of bills had been assented to, at a
record time.
“I also consider it a record, that bills have been passed on
various sector and in giving assent to the bill, it did not lead to
rancour or disputation as to what should be and what should not be.
“This shows that the executive and the legislature are working
together because the ministers attended every hearing that was called in
respect of the bills.”
