The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu
Dogara has said most of the laws in Nigeria were outdated and do
not align with current realities.
He made the remarks while speaking to members of a 22-man
committee he has set up to oversee legal reforms for various
sectors of the Economy.
“The major reason that informed the setting up of this committee is
the urgent need to review the various laws in the statutes book,
some which have become obsolete and outdated.
“Your committee is being inaugurated today (Thursday) to assist us
in cleaning up our statutes book and bringing all our laws up to date
in order to meet the social, political and developmental needs of our
country,” Honourable Dogara said
Besides reviewing the old laws, the Committee will suggest new
laws and reforms that will help the anti-corruption campaign
amongst other issues within 60 days.
The Speaker urged the committee members to engage their
individual and undivided attention to the law reforms.
“Law reforms put laws in place that will aid the anti-corruption
struggle, infrastructure renewal, efficient and optimal utilisation of
our petroleum resources, solid minerals, education and social services,
agriculture, diversification of our economy and massive employment
of our teeming youthful population,” he said
