Ita Enang, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), on Wednesday said that President Muhammadu Buhari assented to over 30 bills in a year and six months.

According to ceoafrica, Mr Enang, who made this known in Abuja said that the achievement was laudable as he commended the 8th National Assembly for being able to pass the bills within a short period, describing it as a great feat.

According to him, the period of the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly has been rewarding, interesting and active as well as productive.

“This National Assembly under the leadership of Dr Bukola Saraki and Dogara has been very rewarding in terms of legislation as seen in the number of bills passed.

“This shows that as the legislature ages, more of its powers are being exercised.

“Some days ago, Mr President assented to a little over about 30 bills within one year and six months of the inauguration of this present National Assembly.

“This surpasses every record that has been made by the legislature since the advent of democracy in this republic.

“This in my opinion is about the principles of this administration that each arm of government will concentrate on its core responsibilities and the legislature has concentrated on its core responsibilities,’’ he said.

He also praised the executive and the judiciary arms of government for the achievements recorded so far.
