A new official report released on the authority of the former House speaker and current governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal, has shown that of the 360 members in the old assembly, there were 191 who did not sponsor a single bill in four years.

The official report was tagged “Status of Bills, Petitions and Other Legislative Measures,” and it had some high profile names like the current deputy speaker of the House, Yusuf Lasun (Osun, APC) and a former candidate for speaker, Abdulmumin Jibrin (Kano, APC).

The official publication was put together by the Hon. Albert Sam-Tsokwa-led Rules and Business Committee of the 7th House.

It said a total of 755 bills were introduced to the House and they were all read for the first time on the floor of the House. 679 of the bills were initiated by private members, six were sent from the Senate while 70 were executive bills. Only 123 of them were passed by the House including the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) before its tenure expired on June 6, 2015.

The lawmakers who sponsored the highest number of bills were Hon. Ali Ahmad (APC, Kwara), Hon. Uzoma Nkem Abonta (PDP, Abia) and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) who sponsored 36, 32 and 20 bills respectively.

Current House speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara (Bauchi, APC), who was a member of the 7th House, sponsored seven bills including the Data Protection Bill (HB.45) 2011. However, his deputy, Lasun Yusuf (Osun/APC), who was also a member of the 7th House, did not sponsor any bill, according to the official report which covered the period between June 6, 2011 and June 5, 2015.

.The deputy speaker is not a force to be reckon with in the house of representative. If lasun couldn't sponsor a single bill in four years, then i think he should do the honorable thing by resigning as the deputy speaker of the Federal house of representative. I believe that Gbajabiamila was a better candidate than dogara as speaker of house of representative.Any time,i watch gbajabiamila speaks on the floor of the house, i am always very excited, because he adds immense intellects and History to any motion or bill being discussed.

Jorussia....



Farouk didn't sponsor a single bill.

INTROVERT:
Jorussia....

Lol.I am waiting for you to comment first.

Imagine none of the lawmakers from Gombe sponsored any bill, yet they fed fat on the country's lean purse.


Is there a way we can demand a refund from these bunch of unproductive bench warmers ?

The zoo states have more of dormant legislators due to high level of illiteracy. Not knowing left from right yet want to be in power.

Awusa people always playing and eating money @ d national assembly

Sponsor bill..
That is if them know wetin the nature of their job be..

Disappointing... This is happening at a time when Nigeria is in dire need of bills related to Technology Development, Healthcare, Labour, Employment and Social Welfare, Justice and Security, Industry specific policies, Anti-corruption policies etc

Do not forget that these lawmakers have offices fully furnished and equipped by the house of assembly with workers fully paid for, for research and policy formulation purposes, which can be used to understudy policies and laws which are contributing to nation development in other nations and adopt them to work for our own society

Really disappointing

Lagos: Adenekan Taiwo Oyewole; Onabamiro Rafeequat Arinola; Odubote Mukaila Lanre; Akinloye Hazeez Babajide; Ayeola Abdulkadir Abayomi; Owolabi Alao Monsuru; Are Abayomi Dauda Kako; Hamzat Ganiyu Oladunjoye; Suara Isiaka Oluwatoyin; Jakande Ayodeji Labib; Kazeem Alliu Babatunde.

Chaiiii! This is disappointing. What's my performing honourable Kako doing on that list. If he's doesn’t have clue on bills to sponsor, he should inform us o.

and they want to collect severance pay

and they want to collect severance pay

Not even a single person from my state sponsored a bill and all of them sought re election thank God non was re elected.... Ebonyi... We have a long way to go.

Saying "nay" and "aye" too na work na. Abi u think say e easy to open mouth and talk.?

Bill ko billii nii
Shéy be Na wen u know wetin bill mean for house u go sponsor 1
Many of dem don't know what bill is

After wasting time with girls they are old enough to be dia ancestor they will nw answer the nature during proceedings

There is nowhere in Nigeria constitution where it is stated that a lawmaker must sponsor a bill. Besides, sponsoring a bill doesn't translate to efficiency.

That's what you get when you give tickets to people that can barely read a book! Most of this guys are criminals and semi illiterates, they just venture into politics just because they have enough money to throw around.

True talk ... Lol

Again this is the reason fighting over these politicians is senseless. People actually die over these guys.. literally. Yet they go there to do nothing!! No interest whatsoever of the citizens at heart. I pray for Nigeria

Farouk was literally reduced to just a mere spectator after the Otedola incident. He became nothing but a seed lying on a concrete- go chance of germination.

That's not enough reason. Even Patricia Etteh after her renovationGATE scandal still spoke and sponsored bills in the house.

And to believe that our news media always address those .....ls as high ranking memebers of the house is suprising.

My question is; what makes them high ranking members?
Is the number of worthless years they spent in the house without contrbuting anything meaningless not to talk of meaningful.

Those names up there are the REAL parasites we have in Nigeria and they're the reason Nigeria is not moving forward.

A country where a Senator will afraid to come out openly to comment on the issues affecting the Senate is nothing but a Zoo,,,,Animal Farm!

If you are in support say I
If you are not in support say Nay..
The Nays have it.

House member : goes back to sleep thinking about amala and ewedu

Good for them

waste of votes.

We know the difference between both cases. Etteh's borders on contract inflation, while Farouk was alleged to have stuffed monies under his cap!! Can anything be more embarrassing?? Imagine what might have been had the purported video been released- perhaps he might have done himself in.

When they release that of senate Ngige name will definitely be number 1. and i think that their ranking should be on number of bills sponsored and not number of times one is re-elected.

E no easy

OBSERVATION!


It takes brains to compile , sponsor and campaign for your bill to pass the rigours of lawmaking.

Not to be a tribal bigot but the bulk of members without sponsored bills seem to be from the North.


Educationally less developed?

what is their use at the house, follow follow.
