National Assembly Leadership To Benefit Life Pension, Immunity

A fresh move by the National Assembly to grant life pension for its presiding officers, including the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives as well as their deputies has attracted comments among civil society groups and some senior advocates.

If the proposal is passed by the legislature, the current Senate President, AHMAD LAWAN; the Speaker, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA; and their deputies will benefit, as the National Assembly’s Joint Special Ad-Hoc Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, laid its report containing 68 recommendations in the respective chambers on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives also recommended immunity for presiding officers of the national Assembly and judicial officers.
