This is a thread about Bills sent to the President by NASS, for assent. Recall that just yesterday PMB declined assent to five Bills. With reasons, of course, per usual.

We have a problem, people, and I’ll explain why. Hopefully the 9th NASS (incoming) can help.
The reasons for the withholding of Presidential Assent tend to be similar. I’ll highlight the common ones:

One is that a good number of these bills tend to be rent-seeking in nature. They seek to carve out a special ‘Fund’ for the exclusive benefit of an Agency.
So, 1% here, 2% there, 0.5% there, too many Bills have clauses that are designed to corner some money. 1% of total tax paid on the Oxygen in the atmosphere, for an Oxgyen Development Fund that will be managed by the Nigerian Atmospheric Management Commission. You get the drift.
