The 10th National Assembly, led by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, is about to resume legislative proceedings after a recess. In its first year since inauguration, the assembly has faced scrutiny regarding its performance in fulfilling constitutional duties and legislative goals.

Akpabio, emphasizing legislative responsibilities and oversight functions, pledged alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s developmental vision. Similarly, Tajudeen highlighted the assembly’s commitment to addressing national challenges through participatory governance and reform initiatives, including budgeting, electoral processes, and socio-economic improvements.

Critics have noted perceived shortcomings, such as perceived subservience to executive mandates, echoing past legislative pitfalls. However, defenders argue that one year is insufficient for a comprehensive assessment, given systemic challenges and a complex federal framework.

Recent Senate statistics indicate the introduction of 477 bills, with 25 passed into law, albeit highlighting ongoing legislative efforts beyond bill enactment, including impactful resolutions on economic and national stability issues.

As the assembly marks its first anniversary, ongoing debates persist over its effectiveness in serving Nigerian interests amid evolving political and social landscapes.
