partner with us at the Senate by suggesting prospective policy recommendations.

delighted at the in-depth report submitted by some of you,” he said.
The Senate President noted a few of the recommendations, which according to him, stood out viable for the 8th Senate to look into.

“Some
suggestions such as the Animal Control Bill by Benard Bojuwoye, the Personal
Income Tax Act Reform by Michael Oshinyemi a Nigerian in diaspora, and a bill
to create more awareness on violence against citizens by Oludiya Funmilola,
stand out as viable recommendations that the 8th Senate will look into.
“Other stand-out recommendations include a bill
designed to address the exploitation of our tax laws and exploitation of
Nigerians by multinational firms by Femi Obagun, and a brief policy for more
stringent laws against rapists, a Workers Protection Act, an Alternate
Financing to Economic Growth Act, a Policing and State Security Act, and a
Government Transparency and Anti Corruption Act.
“These are just some of the suggestions that we have
received, which I plan to go over in detail in the next few days to see how we
can consider some of these bills,” Saraki said.
He then urged more Nigerians to
share their thoughts and ideas saying the ideas will be crucial to establishing
more representative laws.
