OrderPaper Nigeria has said that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration will exert the highest influence on the National Assembly in the history of the country’s presidential democracy.
In a report by OrderPaper’s Senior Programme Executive, Mr. David Oputah, the outfit observed that such influence could either strengthen the legislature or reinforce its widely perceived rubber stamp status.
The report reveals that 22 out of the 48-member federal cabinet appointees were members of the National or State Assemblies, thereby giving President Tinubu the record of transitioning the largest number of politicians from the legislature to the executive in one fell swoop. “Going by these, OrderPaper, Nigeria’s foremost independent parliamentary monitoring organisation and policy think tank that bridges the gap between people and parliament, asserts that the FLEX phenomenon will play defining roles in determining President Tinubu’s legacy concerning service delivery and democratic consolidation.”
In addition, there are three deputy governors of Bayelsa, Bauchi and Akwa Ibom, which produced the lone female FLEX in the class of governors and deputies. The Federal Government has increased the enrolment quota in nursing, medical, and other health professionals training institutions from 28,000 to 64,000 yearly as part of efforts to address manpower shortage in the nation’s health sector due to Japa syndrome.
