Nasarawa Assembly passes 37 bills, adjourns for legislative recess
The Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Dr. Danladi Jatau, has disclosed that the legislature passed 37 bills and adopted 28 resolutions within the last three years.
Jatau made the announcement on Wednesday in Lafia during the end-of-legislative-year recess, noting that the Assembly’s activities have contributed significantly to governance and development across the state.
He commended members of the Seventh Assembly for their unity, cooperation, and commitment to legislative duties since their inauguration, saying their collective efforts have helped the House achieve notable milestones.
According to the Speaker, the bills and resolutions passed by the Assembly have had a direct impact on the lives of residents and have supported the state government’s development agenda.
He urged lawmakers to sustain the spirit of collaboration as the Assembly continues to carry out its constitutional responsibilities.
“I want to thank you for giving me maximum support and cooperation over the years. We have achieved a lot as a result of our unity,” he said.
He added that aside from the 37 bills already passed, 33 bills are still pending before the House, while 28 resolutions have also been adopted.
The Speaker also praised members for maintaining a cordial working relationship with the executive arm, noting that the synergy had contributed to development achievements under Governor Abdullahi Sule.
“I want to appreciate you all and the opposition lawmakers for supporting His Excellency to succeed,” he said.
He wished lawmakers well as they proceeded on recess.
Earlier, the Deputy Majority Leader, Abel Yakubu Bala, moved a motion for the House to proceed on a five-week recess from June 6 to July 14, 2026.
The motion was seconded by the Minority Leader, Hon. Luka Iliya Zhekaba, and unanimously adopted by members.
