Senator Godswill Akpabio, has announced on Thursday that no fewer than 844 legislations have been passed since the inception of the 10th National Assembly.

The Senate President disclosed this at the joint session of President Bola Tinubu and lawmakers as part of Democracy Day activities at the National Assembly.

According to reports, Akpabio had earlier cancelled his previously scheduled nationwide broadcast in commemoration of Nigeria’s 26th Democracy Day anniversary.

He further stated that while 107 bills are currently at various committee stages, 499 bills have ‘advanced to the second stage in the Senate.’

“The Senate has introduced 844 bills within two years. 107 bills are currently at various committee stages, and 499 bills have ‘advanced to the second stage in the Senate.’

“The Senate has also acted on 26 executive bills to address key policy issues for the benefit of Nigerians. Again, over 100 petitions were received from Nigerians seeking redress and transparency.

“It is a record that has not been held by any Nigerian Senate in two years,” Akpabio stated.

He urged the President to consider establishing a June 12 museum to accommodate history and relics associated with the 1993 presidential poll.

The senator emphasised that where governance is in partnership, progress follows.

“But where governance is in contest, the people suffer. Democracy is not a gift but a trust to protect,” he stated.

In attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, members of the Progressive Governors Forum, as well as serving and past lawmakers.
