Nigeria - The House of Representatives has had a change of mind on a plan to insert legislative immunity for the National Assembly’s principal officers in the constitution.
The lawmakers dropped the plan less than 24 hours to a three-day retreat, with the theme “The Imperatives of Constitution Review and Amendment in Nation Building,” which opened in Abeokuta, Ogun State at the weekend.
The bill, an Act to Alter Section 308 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to Extend Immunity to Cover Presiding Officers of Legislative Institutions and for Other Matters, was one of the items earlier listed at the debate, but was withdrawn.
