Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan has said that the senate aims to pass the Electoral Reforms Bill in the first quarter of 2021.
Lawan made the remarks while declaring open a Public Hearing on a Bill for an Act to Repeal the Electoral Act No. 6 2010(as amended) and enact the Independent National Electoral Commission Act 2020.
The event which held at the National Assembly complex in Abuja was jointly organised by the Senate Committee on INEC and the House Committee on Electoral Matters.
“I said that about two weeks ago quite rightly and we mean it. People may chose to accuse us for any other thing but not what we do here. We remain committed to all the issues we have considered important in our Legislative Agenda.
“Without anybody holding us responsible, we have achieved most not those things that we have set as targets and Electoral Act amendment is one of those targets.
“By the Grace of God, we will work so hard to pass it before the end of the first quarter of next year,” Lawan said.
