The National Assembly has resumed legislative activities with renewed focus on electoral reforms and economic recovery measures.
Lawmakers are expected to deliberate on amendments to the Electoral Act aimed at strengthening transparency, improving voter confidence, and addressing logistical challenges observed during recent elections. Committees have also been tasked with reviewing policies related to inflation, unemployment, and small business support.
Analysts say economic pressures, including rising living costs and currency fluctuations, are likely to dominate debates. Several lawmakers have called for closer oversight of government agencies responsible for fiscal management and social welfare programs.
Civil society organizations have urged the legislature to prioritize inclusive reforms and ensure that public input is reflected in policy decisions. The Assembly leadership assured Nigerians that proposed bills would undergo thorough scrutiny before passage.
