The Digest:
In his first two years, President Bola Tinubu has signed 40 bills into law, surpassing former President Buhari's 14 in a similar timeframe. However, experts raise concerns about the tangible outcomes of these laws and their real effect on governance.
Key Points:
- Tinubu has signed 40 laws from June 2023 to May 2025.
- Buhari signed only 14 bills in his first term between 2015 and 2017.
- Despite the increase in signed bills, critics argue that this has not led to significant governance results.
- The report by Legis360 highlights the gap between policy intent and actual delivery.
- The analysis underscores the importance of focusing on laws that translate into real benefits for citizens.
- Challenges persist with executive-legislative dynamics and insufficient engagement in the policy-making process.
- Experts urge that stakeholders focus on the impact of the assented laws rather than simply celebrating bill signings.
