In his commitment to tackling the country’s challenges through legislation, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, has sponsored 29 private member bills in two years, halfway through the life of the 10th Senate.

Inaugurated on June 13, 2023, following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s proclamation of the parliament via a letter to the Clerk to the National Assembly in line with Section 64(3) of the 1999 Constitution, the 10th National Assembly celebrates its second anniversary on June 13th this year.

As the parliament celebrates its second year, half-time as it is called in the business of soccer, a tally obtained from the Senate Committee on Rules and Business showed that Senator Barau, a fourth-timer at the National Assembly (three times in the Senate – 2015 to date and once in the House of Representatives—1999 -2003) – topped the chart of private member bills sponsorship.
