Last week, the 10th House of Representatives unveiled the third year legislative scorecard. While it used the event to highlight the achievements of the Green Chamber, it didn’t fail to mention its shortcomings and areas of improvements, Adedayo Akinwale writes
The House of Representatives recently gave an account of its stewardship in the last three years since its inauguration, during the 2026 National Assembly Open Week and the unveiling of the third-year legislative performance. The Open Week was conceived not as an exercise in self-congratulation, but as an act of accountability. Though, openness is not a courtesy the Green Chamber extends at its pleasure; it is an obligation it owes to those it serves.
Following the standard set by the 9th Assembly, Nigerians were hopeful of a good performance from the 10th Assembly. While Nigerians were not expecting the Green Chamber to perform miracles, the expectation placed a huge burden on the 10th House. It was expected that if the 10th Assembly could not surpass the achievements of the 9th Assembly, it should at least match it.
There is no gainsaying that the 10th House has recorded substantial achievements within three years, however, it hasn’t been immune from controversy and scandal too.
