The Conference featured 43 sessions, 307 Nigerian and Foreign speakers from the legal and business community, academia, legislature and the public sector, and witnessed a record attendance of over 12,000 delegates. The Conference was graced by notable dignitaries that included the President and Commander- In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, represented by the Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, SAN; the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Dr. Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, CFR; the Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Femi Hamzat; the President, International Bar Association (IBA), Horacio Bernardes Neto, and other distinguished members of the Federal and State Legislatures, Heads of Federal and State Government agencies, captains of industry, leaders of the Bar and Bench. The theme of the 59th AGC: “Facing the Future” was very apt, given the importance and future of the legal profession, businesses, the judiciary and Government amidst a rapidly changing world driven by fast-paced technological innovations and increasing external competition in a globalised world. In line with the theme, a major innovation was introduced in conference planning. In an IBA style, the NBA placed the NBA specialized Section Committees at the centre of capacity building thus providing a wide array of menu that offered real learning opportunities in various practice areas. It was imperative that the flagship event of the NBA provide stakeholders with an engaging platform to stir up discussions around topical issues resulting in a unifying narrative that will illuminate the envisaged future of the legal profession and the opportunities therein. 1.2 Welcome Remarks Mr. Gbenga Oyebode, MFR, Chairman, Technical Committee on

E-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract: The objective of this paper is to examines the intrigues, power play and accusations surrounding the National Assembly budgetary allocations between 1999 and 2016.This is because since it was inaugurated in June 1999, the Legislature of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic has been roundly defined as an enigmatic one, due to the many twists and turns which accompanied its leadership and membership. It is no longer news that Nigerian legislators are the highest paid lawmakers in the world. When this fact was first revealed a few years ago, the federal lawmakers tried to justify the jumbo pay package without any success. The data for this study was generated from Focus Group Discussion and documentary sources which include books, journals and online materials. The technique of content analysis constituted our data analysis technique. Among the conclusion drawn is for Nigeria to return to the core argument that by paying excessively high salaries and emoluments to top public officials; in particular, permanent secretaries, ministers and legislators, we are mortgaging the rights of our people to development.

  • Research Paper Commerce Political Science EME, I.O Department of Public Administration and Local Government University of Niger
    Volume-4, Issue-2, Feb-2015 • ISSN No 2277 - 8160 Commerce Research Paper Political Science An Analysis of Cost of Governance and the Quest for Part-Time Legislature in Nigeria Department of Public Administration and Local Government University of EME, I.O Nigeria, Nsukka Dr.Hillary,I Department of Political Science Imo State University Owerri Ekemam Emmanuel Department of Political Science Imo State University Owerri Iheanacho ABSTRACT The debate concerning the workability of a bicameral legislature, coupled with the finance cost has been an ongoing one. The debate was again brought to the fore recently with a recommendation by delegates at the National conference for legislators to function on part-time basis, rather than the present full time. The delegates contended that this will drastically reduce cost of governance, which is already over bloated. Expectedly, the recommendation by the Standing Committee on Public Service chaired by a former Head of Service of the Federation, Ebele Okeke, got the approval of majority of delegates after a long debate. The jumbo salary being paid the country’s legislators, which ranked the highest in the world, according to a new study, has attracted sharp criticisms from Nigerians across the country, including economists and lawyers. A report by The Economist magazine revealed that Nigerian federal legislators with a basic salary of $189,500 per annum (N30.6m) were the highest paid lawmakers in the world. Quoting data from the International Monetary Fund and The Economist magazine of London, the study looked at the lawmakers’ basic salary as a ratio of the Gross Domestic Product per person across countries of the world.
