Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, says President Muhammadu Buhari gave assent to 104 out of the 162 bills passed to him by the 9th Senate.

Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, declared that the 9th National Assembly performed far better than five others before it, since 1999.

The 9th Assembly presiding officers also lamented the misperception and misunderstanding of the 9th National Assembly by some Nigerians who wrongly labelled it as a rubber stamp one.

They gave their assessment at the Welcome Dinner organized for senators and members-elect for the 10th National Assembly by management of the National Assembly and National Institute for Democratic and Legislative Studies in Abuja.
