[The Presidential Blog] President Buhari signs 8 bills into law in one day

Maybe it’s the end of the year. Or maybe it’s just nothing.

Maybe it’s just the natural order of the season. Two days ago, the President promised to reshuffle his cabinet after months of outcry from the populace and today, he’s signed 8 bills into law. In one day!

We can only praise the Lord.

According to Senator Ita Enang, spokesman to the President on National Assembly matters, the bills are:
