President Muhammadu Buhari Signed into Law a Bill for the Funding of State House of Assembly
Yesterday, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari signed into Law a Constitution Amendment Bill that provides for the funding of State Houses of Assembly and State Judiciaries directly from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). The Bill, now an Act of the National Assembly, alters Section 121 of the 1999 Constitution.
The purpose of this Bill is to promote the fiscal independence of the Legislative and Judicial Arms of State Governments. Amounts due to them shall now be paid directly to them, instead of through the Executive arm of the States.
