Buhari declines assent to 17 bills
Mr Buhari, however, gave assent to nine other bills passed by the last Senate.
He explained that the president decided not to communicate to the 9th Assembly on the rejection of the bills because it could not take any decision on the rejected bills. He said the current National Assembly could not take action to override them because the law forbade the lawmakers to do so. Others are the National Agricultural Seed Council bill, Agriculture Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund , and FCT Primary Healthcare Board.
