PHOTO; SUNDAY AGHAEZE. MAY 7 2018President Muhammadu Buhari has conveyed to the National Assembly his decision to decline assent to five bills.
“These areas include surveillance and digital protection, lawful interception of communication, digital protection and retention etc. Which are currently the subject of various bills pending at national assembly. We therefore suggest that the scope of the bill should be limited to the protection of human right within the digital environment to reduce the challenge of duplication and legislative conflict in the future,” the letter reads further.
The Immigration Amendment bill was denied assent “due to the concerns expressed to the retroactive effective of the provisions of 38 of the bill and the impact of the section on the ease of doing business initiative of the federal government. There are also concerns that if passed, the bill will be destructive to Nigerians in diaspora if other countries were to reciprocate the provisions of section 38 in their immigration laws.
All these tokunbo bills nassnigeria keep passing as innovative/new bills..quality not quantity of bills should b key
