Emerging report indicates that former Governors, Ahmed Sani Yarima (APC, Zamfara), George Akume (APC, Benue), Danjuma Goje (APC, Gombe), Jonah Jang (PDP, Plateau), and Bukar Abba Ibrahim (APC, Yobe), are among the Senators without a single bill to their names in the last two years.

Official record from June 2015 to July 2016, showed that 16 out of the 108 Senators (Anambra vacant), are yet to have a bill to their names, less than 23 months to the expiration of their tenure.
The list of Senators who did not sponsor a single bill dropped from 28 in June, 2016, to 16 this year, as the likes of Senate President, Bukola Saraki (APC, Kwara), his predecessor David Mark (PDP, Benue), and the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu (PDP, Enugu), have now presented one each.
Saraki’s bill on the establishment of the Nigerian Academy of Science, was passed on July 5, 2017, while Mark’s on the establishment of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, had scaled through first reading on June 13, this year.
The Senate is so far considering 552 draft laws since the inauguration of the 8th Assembly, on June 9, 2015.
