National Assembly Pass Eight (8) Bills To End Nigeria's Recession

– Eight bills that will strengthen Nigeria’s economy have been passed by both Houses of the National Assembly to the president
– “Nigerians will see that this is a people-centred National Assembly,” the Senate President Bukola Saraki has said
As part of strategy to end Nigeria’s economic recession the National Assembly has forwarded a total of eight bills to President Muhammadu Buhari for his assent.
Recall that last week the Senate has offered 21-point resolution to the executive arm of government on how Nigeria can overcome the economic recession in the country.
The statement issued by Yusuph Olaniyonu, the special adviser to the Senate President on media and publicity, on Monday reads in part.
“The bills, which are aimed at strengthening the laws of the federal republic, were considered and passed in a single sitting of the Senate – demonstrating commitment to employing all legislative mechanisms at its disposal to end the current economic recession in the country.
The bills that will be presented to the president soon include the Telecommunication and Postal Offences Act (Amendment) Bill, National Crop Varieties, Livestock Breeds (Registration) Act (Amendment) Bill, Produce (Enforcement of Export Standards) Act (Amendment) Bill, Prevention of Crimes Act (Amendment) Bill, Water Resources Act (Amendment) Bill, National Agricultural Land Development Authority Act (Amendment) Bill, Bee (Import Control and Management) Act (Amendment) Bill and Agricultural and Rural Management Training Act (Amendment) Bill.
By now it is clear that the senators take Nigeria’s economic situation very seriously. If you recall, one of the points from the 21-point resolution passed by the Senate on the economy stated that it would fast-track all economic related bills.
What this Senate has done is match its words with its actions. The eight bills, which are all primarily amendments to existing laws, are aimed at strengthening the enforcement mechanisms in sectors of the economy that can help boost Internally Generated Revenue.
Important highlights of the bills include the amendment to the Telecommunication and Postal Offences Act, which is aimed at increasing some of the prescribed penalties, fines and compensations for non-compliance with the Act. This is intended to help boost investment and participation in the telecommunications sector.
Additionally, the National Crop Varieties, Livestock Breeds (Registration) Act (Amendment) Bill, Produce (Enforcement of Export Standards) Act (Amendment) Bill, National Agricultural Land Development Authority Act (Amendment) Bill, Bee (Import Control and Management) Act (Amendment) Bill, and the Agricultural and Rural Management Training Act (Amendment) Bill are all aimed at bolstering the standards in Nigeria’s Agricultural sector to help the country achieve more economic diversification.”
The Senate President Bukola Saraki has also commented on the process: “Moving forward, Nigerians can expect that the legislature will adopt a united and efficient approach to getting Nigeria’s economy back on track.
We will quickly forward these 8 bills, which have been passed by both Houses of the National Assembly to the president.
This is only a first step and we will continue to work to ensure that at the end of our tenure, Nigerians will see that this is a people-centred National Assembly.”

I believe we can all work this recession out if we all listen to constructive  criticism and also criticize constructively starting from Mr President to the least in our country. All hands must be on deck and we must always pray for our country individually and collectively, we must build the country of our dreams. 
say no to violence! 
Say no to murder!
Peace.
