History is Made: Senate Passes 46Bills into Law in 10MINUTES

History is made as Nigerian Law makers  has passed 46 bills into law in 10MINUTES but they had 4years!
The 46 bills were passed into law yesterday, were introduced by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang.
The passage of the bills in a very short time caused uproar among Senators leading to Senator Mark telling those who were not satisfied with the passage of the bills to come up tomorrow being the next legislative day with their names and signatures for consideration.
Before the bills were passed, the Senate suspended the Order 79 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders and deemed all the Bills as having passed first, second and third readings on the floor of the Senate and concur to same.

The passing of 46 bills in 10 minutes is particularly interesting, considering that the  National Assembly has spent N600 billion in four years but managed to pass only about 106 within the period.
Shouldn't there be a place for them in the Guinness World Record? What was the haste for the bills to be passed?

Etcetera writes: Buhari And And A New Nigeria

 Just read Etcetera's piece which was published on Saturday, very Interesting

I wasn’t born in 1960. So, I have no memories of the euphoria of the first Independence Day. My early memories of independence are the celebrations in the small government school I attended. My well starched and ironed school uniform, national flags made of paper, singing the National Anthem, and a speech by the headmistress were the highlights. In my final year, I was allowed to pin a small flag on my shirt and hold a slightly bigger one in front of the school because I was a school prefect. Those were proud moments! Even after so many years, the pride still remains. It is totally different today.
