Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has identified the National Assembly as the most underfunded arm of the Nigerian government. He spoke at the Lagos/ Osun Hall of Transcorp Hilton yesterday, during the launch of three legislative digital platforms.

The digital platforms, powered by the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), include the Bill Tracking Website, the Legislative Tracker, and the Legislative Resources Repository, designed to provide comprehensive and user-friendly access to legislative information in Nigeria.

Represented by Amadi Victor Obuzor, representing Ahoada West/Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni, Abbas noted: “Many Nigerians believe erroneously that the National Assembly is overfunded. Sadly, the National Assembly is the most underfunded arm of the government.

“I am happy that most of the development partners have carried out assessments and investigations on the funding of the National Assembly, and came to the conclusion that the legislature is underfunded.”

According to the Speaker, the digital platforms will be an opportunity to come to reality with the issues in the National Assembly, and change people’s perceptions about the institution.

Giving an overview of the platform, PLAC’s Deputy Executive Director, Omolara Akinyeye, explained that the PLAC bills track was an online platform for tracking the status and progress of bills going through the legislative process in the Nigerian National Assembly.

According to Akinyeye, users can access the status and complete text of bills and legislation, as well as read analyses and infographics on select bills.

See these buffons? With the suffering people are going through in Nigeria today? A national assembly that gulped ₦344bn in the 2024 budget, built luxury offices, drove in brand-new SUVs, and still calls itself “underfunded”?

Ironically this is the most expensive legislature being run and the most useless in the world. Let them function as unicameral or part time legislature, these hardened criminals will never agree. Nigeria is not ready for good governance yet that is why these fools comes out to say rubbish @ will.

rubbish talk.

Even if they are the most underfunded among the 3 arms, they are still being overfunded.
Infact all the 3 arms are overfunded - reason for the high cost of governance.

Politicians and entitlement.If I have my way I will scrap all these so called national assembly or make them par time.with all the insecurities happening here and there,this is what the speaker is concerned about.

Now they're getting millions and are complaining. Do they want to be getting trillions while Nigerian workers are getting peanuts?
