1. THE COST TO
NIGERIANS
NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY
(1999 – 2015)

2. The Nigerian law makers (National Assembly (NASS) –
the Senate and the House of Representatives) are
regarded as the most expensive in the world.
This is actually ironic; a poor Nation with the most
expensive law makers! While the word ‘Expensive’ may
be subjective and relative; what one derive from
expensive purchase would normally justify such
expenditure.

7. THE NASS OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONS
The oversight function of the legislature in Nigeria finds legislative importance in
Section 88, Sub-sections 1(a)-(b) and 2(a)-(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria which provides that
1. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, “each House of the National Assembly
shall have power by resolution published in its journal or in the Official Gazette of the
Government of the Federation to direct or cause to be directed an investigation into
–
(a) any matter or thing with respect to which it has power to make laws; and
(b) the conduct of affairs of any person, authority, ministry or government
department charged, or intended to be charged, with the duty of or
responsibility for –
I. executing or administering laws enacted by the National Assembly, and
II. disbursing or administering moneys appropriated or to be appropriated by
the National Assembly”.
2. The powers conferred on the National Assembly under the provisions of the
section are exercisable only for the purpose of enabling it to –
(a) make laws with respect to any matter within its legislative competence and
correct any defects in existing laws; and
(b) expose corruption, inefficiency or waste in the execution or administration of
laws within its legislative competence and in the disbursement or administration
of funds appropriated by it”.

8. THE NASS OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONS
The Constitution confers exclusive powers to the Senate among
them –
 The power to scrutinize and confirm major appointments of
the executive. Specifically, the appointments of
 Ministers,
 Special Advisers,
 Ambassadors,
 Top Judicial Officers heading specified levels of courts,
 The Auditor-General of the Federation, and
 The Chairmen and Members of the vital National Commissions.
Both Chambers have broad oversight functions to establish committees of
its members to scrutinize bills and the conduct of government institutions
and officials. The House of Representatives is also empowered by the
Constitution to legislate on Exclusive, Concurrent and Residual lists.
AMONGST MANY FUNCTIONS OF THE LAW MAKERS; THIS
STANDS OUT – TO SCRUTINIZE BILLS AND ESTABLISH LAWS.
HOW WELL HAVE THEY PERFORMED IN THIS REGARD?

All bills must receive three readings before they can be passed into law and the readings
must be on different days. Some bills can receive accelerated consideration i.e. on the
same day based on their urgency and significance for government policy. In that case,
rules of the House/Senate are to be suspended for easy passage. Examples of such bill
that might receive accelerated hearings are the ones that are needed to enable the
president take urgent action on matters relating to national security.

44. SUMMARY
Unfortunately, there is no enough data to determine
which of the Assembly (from 1999-2015) was more
productive in terms of their ability of taking a Bill through
the legislative process and making it become an Act.
IF THE BUSINESS OF LAW MAKERS IS TO MAKE
LAWS, AND WE ONLY HAVE 9% OF ALL BILLS
PASSED INTO LAW – HOW PRODUCTIVE IS THAT
CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
EXPENDED ON THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY?
IF THE COST OF LEGISLATION IS MORE THAN ITS
BENEFITS – IT’S EITHER #NASS INCREASE THEIR
PRODUCTIVITY OR REDUCE THE COST OF LEGISLATING!
