The Director General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies, Prof. Abubakar O. Sulaiman has commended the leadership of the National Assembly led by the President of the Senate, distinguished Sen. Ahmad Lawan, PhD and Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for its intervention in the #ENDSARS protests that have been ongoing in the country for over twelve days.
The DG said it is widely accepted that the legislature has an important role to play in strengthening democratic governance particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. “The centrality of the legislature to good governance has never been more important than now. In the past few weeks, we have witnessed growing protests, largely of young people, demanding institutional reforms and good governance”.
According to him, “many of the problems faced require review and reform of existing legal frameworks to conform to modern realities and standards”. He noted that despite the centrality of the legislature in promoting good governance and addressing the myriad societal problems, there is need to first of all strengthen the institution of the legislature itself.
“Overall, there has been reluctance and sometimes outright refusal by some Governors to comply with the provisions of the new law. This has led to heated debates, high level advocacy, antagonism and feuds between the Governors’ Forum and the Conference of Speakers”.
