The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has proposed a 100-day legislative programme to accelerate work on pending bills, clear outstanding committee reports and strengthen oversight, warning lawmakers against allowing preparations for the 2027 general elections to disrupt their constitutional duties.
Abbas proposed on Tuesday while addressing members at the resumption of plenary after the House’s annual recess at the National Assembly in Abuja.
He urged lawmakers to remain focused on their legislative responsibilities as political activities gather momentum ahead of the next general elections.
“The campaign must never become more important than the country,” the Speaker said, stressing that members owed their constituents a full term of service.
He also called for improved attendance at plenary and committee sittings, with Tuesdays and Thursdays to be devoted to major bills and urgent national issues under the proposed programme.
Abbas said the House would publish a comprehensive legislative scorecard
