Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, yesterday proposed that the National Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) should become the permanent venue for the induction of newly elected members of the National Assembly beginning from the 2027.
Akpabio made the proposal while presiding over a meeting of the Governing Board of NILDS at the institute’s headquarters in Abuja, where he also commended the management of the organisation for what he described as its impressive performance in fulfilling the mandate for which it was established.
The Senate President, who chairs the NILDS governing board, particularly praised the Director General of the institute, Prof. Abubakar Suleiman, and his management team for deepening legislative capacity-building and sustaining academic programmes designed to strengthen democratic governance.
