ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to the presidential Adviser, they were all initiated by

the National Assembly as none was an Executive Bill.

He said: "Mr. President assented to eight bills passed by the

National Assembly. The different bills are on different sectors of

the economy and development. The bills have, as from today,

become an Act.*

*"These bills were passed by the National Assembly and

transmitted to Mr. President for assent and Mr. President today

assented to them today and they have automatically become

law.

"Mr. President expresses his appreciation to leadership and

membership 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 consonance with All Progressive

Congress, APC, agenda and thanks the National Assembly very

much.

"He also directs that ministries, departments and agencies and

all government functionaries, that whenever there is a bill

pending before the National Assembly and there is a call for

public hearing, they must attend and make inputs into those bills

so that those inputs will be taken into accounts by the legislature

when considering the bill. So that when the bills are eventually

passed it would be easier to implement."*
