President Muhammadu Buhari has
rejected five bills transmitted to him by the national assembly.
The bills are Nigerian Film
Commission bill, Immigration Amendment bill 2018, Climate change bill 2018,
Chartered Institute of Pension Practitioners bill 2018 and Digital Rights and
Freedom bill.
The president’s decision to withhold
assent to the bills was conveyed via a letter read during plenary on Wednesday.
The president’s reasons for not
assenting to the bills, as contained in the letter, range from conflicting and
duplication of duties of existing government agencies, their destructive nature
as well as lack of clarity.
This comes a day after he
rejected two bills passed by the legislative chamber . The development brings
to 13, the number of bills Buhari has rejected in 2019.
