List Of Lawmakers In The 7th Assembly Who Didn’t Sponsor A Single Bill

A new official report released on the authority of
the former House speaker and current governor of
Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal, has shown that of
the 360 members in the old assembly, there were
191 who did not sponsor a single bill in four years.
The official report was tagged “Status of Bills,
Petitions and Other Legislative Measures,” and it
had some high profile names like the current
deputy speaker of the House, Yusuf Lasun (Osun,
APC) and a former candidate for speaker,
Abdulmumin Jibrin (Kano, APC).
The official publication was put together by the
Hon. Albert Sam-Tsokwa-led Rules and Business
Committee of the 7th House.
It said a total of 755 bills were introduced to the
House and they were all read for the first time on
the floor of the House. 679 of the bills were
initiated by private members, six were sent from
the Senate while 70 were executive bills. Only 123
of them were passed by the House including the
Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) before its tenure
expired on June 6, 2015.
The lawmakers who sponsored the highest number
of bills were Hon. Ali Ahmad (APC, Kwara), Hon.
Uzoma Nkem Abonta (PDP, Abia) and Hon. Femi
Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos) who sponsored 36, 32
and 20 bills respectively.
Current House speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara
(Bauchi, APC), who was a member of the 7th
House, sponsored seven bills including the Data
Protection Bill (HB.45) 2011. However, his deputy,
Lasun Yusuf (Osun/APC), who was also a member of
the 7th House, did not sponsor any bill, according
