One can safely and boldly assert that no elected Nigerian President has signed into Law as many landmark reform parliamentary Bills as President Muhammadu Buhari has so far done.

A quick list of key ones (by no means is this a list of ALL):
The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), 2021, which finally became an Act after almost two decades of false starts. Broken — one of the Greatest Jinxes Ever Liveth!
The Deep Offshore and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contracts Act, 1993 (Amendment) Act, 2019, coming almost three decades after the original legislation.

A thread about Nigeria’s Conditional Cash Transfer program @HUPcct - one of the programs under the National Social Investment Programme; and whether N5,000 a month (current monthly payment, to 1.6 million Nigerian households) can make a difference in people’s lives or not.
HM @Sadiya_farouq was asked about the N5,000 at #StateHouseBriefing yesterday. A journalist, asking a question, spoke dismissively about the amount - that N5,000 cannot do anything.
Minister’s reply:

“Saying 5,000 cannot make a difference in ppl’s lives is an elitist statement. We know, ‘cos we’ve gone to the field. We’ve seen ppl, when you pay them this @HUPcct 5k, they cry ‘cos they’ve never seen 5k before. It goes a long way, changes their status.”
