The National Assembly in conjunction with Green Mount Consulting Limited is organising a workshop for heads of Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) of Government in a bid to emphasise the imperative of legislative compliance
The Managing Partner, Green Mount Consulting Limited, Alhaji Mohammed Aminu, in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, yesterday, said the workshop, scheduled for November 7th and 8th, was set to address the theme: “the imperative of legislative compliance in deepening democracy and enhancing good governance.”
Aminu said, “in recent times, there has been growing concern about the non-compliance of MDAs with resolutions passed by the Nigeria Senate and the House of Representatives.
“To address this issue, it is essential to engage in constructive dialogue and find effective solutions that will ensure the alignment of government actions with legislative decisions.”
He said the two-day workshops would serve as a platform for comprehensive discussions, knowledge sharing, and the formulation of practical strategies to promote legislative compliance.
Several distinguished guests would be in attendance, including the Senate President, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Others include the National Security Adviser, the Comptroller General of Customs, and the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL.
The workshop would cover a wide range of topics, including the legal framework governing legislative compliance, the roles and responsibilities of various government entities, and case studies highlighting successful compliance initiatives.
Through panel discussions, expert presentations, and interactive sessions, participants would gain a deeper understanding of the importance of legislative compliance in strengthening democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
The workshop would serve as a turning point in addressing the issues related to legislative compliance in Nigeria.
It would bring together key stakeholders, government officials, experts, and thought leaders, thereby fostering a collaborative environment that will lead to actionable recommendations and meaningful reforms.
