The Senate on Wednesday adopted a report by its Committee on Legislative Compliance detailing the implementation of resolutions arising from motions passed between July 2023 and December 2025.
The report, presented during plenary by the committee’s chairman, Garba Maidoki, assessed the impact of Senate resolutions and the level of compliance by ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), particularly on issues relating to road rehabilitation, disaster management and other matters directly affecting Nigerians.
Mr Maidoki, who represents Kebbi South Senatorial District, said the committee tracked the implementation of the resolutions by the relevant agencies and found that many were either delayed or ignored.
He said that despite the committee’s efforts to ensure compliance, many MDAs repeatedly failed to respond, a situation he described as a disregard for the authority of both the committee and the Senate.
“Implementation of Senate resolutions is often delayed and sometimes ignored. The executive retains the final authority to issue directives for the implementation of Senate’s resolutions. Many MDAs ignore the committee’s requests for compliance information, thereby disregarding the powers of the Committee and the Senate in general.
