The Abia State House of Assembly says it passed 37 bills in two years of its existence so far.
The Speaker, Mr Emmanuel Emeruwa, made the disclosure in Umuahia on Tuesday, while briefing newsmen on the achievements of the eighth assembly, inaugurated in 2023.
He listed some of the bills to include the Abia State Appropriation Law of 2023, the Greater Aba Development Authority Law, 2024 and the Abia State Pensions Reform Law of 2024.
Others were the Abia State Security Trust Fund Law, 2024, the Abia State Electricity Law, 2025, the Abia State Senior Citizens Law of 2025 and the Abia State Local Government Administration Law, 2025.
Emeruwa said that the eighth assembly had been making laws that were people-friendly, and had been committed to institutional reforms, participatory governance and sustainable development.
He said, “I thank my colleagues for their quick understanding and for the harmonious relationship we have been enjoying.
“Sometime in May, we were able to get 18 bills assented to in one day, that has not happened in the history of Abia legislature and I don’t think it has happened in other legislatures in Nigeria.
