President Muhammadu Buhari has
written to the Nigerian Senate, withholding assent to the bill on the Federal
University, Wukari, Taraba state.
The letter addressed to the
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki which was read on Tuesday, stated that some
clauses in the said bill needed to be rephrased for it to be signed into law.
Part of the letter reads: “In
line with section 58(4) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
I wish to withold my assent to the bill on Federal University, Wukari which was
sent to me on the 25th October, 2017.
‘Certain words among others
include, ‘President to the University’ and not ‘visitor’ as contained in the
bill.
The Constitution allows three
months to harmonize differences to the bill for it to be assented to.
What or why the others bills did not sees the light of the days? Why withheld them,especially the peace corps of Nigeria bill?
