The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has said that the 8th Senate will pass 11 bills before the end of 2016 that will tackle the economic recession.
Saraki spoke at a dialogue at the 22nd Edition of the Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He said that 40 bills were recommended by the National Assembly Business Environment Roundtable (NASSBER), an initiative, which the Nigerian Economic Summit Group was a major partner.
Saraki also said that the Senate would ensure the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) in this administration by breaking the Bill into different sections for easier passage.
According to him, with the passage of the PIB, Nigeria will generate more revenue from oil thereby putting the nation on track to come out of the economic recession.
“By focusing more outcomes, rather than processes,” Saraki said,
“The Nigerian Senate has been able to pass 20 Bills for Final Reading in two weeks,” he said.
