The Senate on Wednesday passed 46 bills into law in less than ten minutes the bills were introduced by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang.
But the passage of the bills in a very short time caused uproar among Senators even after the voice vote had been taken by the presiding officer and Senate President, David Mark where the “Ayes ” had their way.
As the development caused serious rowdy session, Senator Mark, told those who were not satisfied with the passage of the bills to come up tomorrow being the next legislative day with their names and signatures for consideration.
Before the bills were passed, the Senate had suspended Order 79 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders and deemed all the Bills as having passed first, second and third readings on the floor of the Senate and concur to same.
The Senate has given a swift approval to President Muhammadu Buhari’s request to appoint 15 advisers.
The approval was given about 24 hours after Mr. Buhari’s letter was read by the Senate on Tuesday. It was Mr. Buhari’s first correspondence to the National Assembly since assuming office Friday.
The appointments would be the second for the new president who only named his spokespersons and chief of protocol on Sunday.
Mr. Buhari has not given a hint of those he would name as advisers or ministers.
