While some of the lawmakers who will be inaugurated today have been at the National Assembly since the restoration of democracy in the country 24 years ago, others have spent at least 12 years in the federal parliament.
They have been at the National Assembly making laws for the country for years. Some have been there since the restoration of democracy in the country 24 years ago. Others have been there for at least 12 years. And that is because, unlike the executive arm with a maximum of eight years tenure, the tenure of lawmakers in Nigeria is statutorily limitless.
