The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, said the National Assembly would support the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the efforts to conduct credible elections in 2023.
Lawan, who stated this in his New Year Message, also encouraged Nigerians to take an active part in the elections. He noted that the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 had given hope to the country’s electoral process.
He recalled the robust Legislative Agenda of the 9th assembly which he said has yielded some of the most critical Bills that have been signed into law, such as the Deep Offshore and inland Basin Production Sharing Contract (Amendment) Act, 2019, Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, Nigeria Police Reform Act, 2020, Petroleum Industry Act, 2021, and Electoral Act, 2022, just to mention a few.
