How 8th NASS performed better than previous assemblies – Okei-Odumakin, President, Campaign for Democracy

The Centre for Change Initiative, a civil society organisation, yesterday, said the performance of the 8th National Assembly exceeded the performances of the previous national assembly sessions.

The organisation’s President, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, disclosed this to newsmen at the weekend in Lagos while assessing the performance of the 8th Assembly.

Okei-Odumakin said: “Judging by the number of bills, interventions and civic engagements the 8th National Assembly can be adjudged as having done averagely well.

“It can be said to have exceeded the previous sessions of the NASS.

“That nonetheless, does not mean that the assembly did not live, without some of its own shortcomings”.

Okei-Odumakin urged the incoming assembly to consolidate on the achievements of the 8th assembly.

“The 9th NASS should engage in legislative actions that will impact positively on the lives of our people,” she said.
