Yesterday the strangest thing happened when the Nigerian Senate passed a record 46 bills into law in just 10 minutes.

The bills were introduced by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enang and all 46 of them had been recently passed by the lower House of Representatives.

The Senate’s decision to pass the bills was predicated on the fact that the life of the current assembly is expected to expire in a few days time and that enough resources had already been expended in processing the bills, hence there was the need to pass them and forward same to the President for his assent.

According to Enang, the “bills by this resolution are hereby read and deemed read a third time and passed, to be transmitted to the President for assent in accordance with the Acts (Authentication) Act, and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

“That the votes and proceedings containing all bills be produced for adoption, as passed by the House.”

Not everyone accepted the fast track.

Some senators led by Senator Domingo Obende, Edo State, and George Sekibo, Rivers State, opposed the passage of the bills in less than ten minutes.

The Senate President asked them to write their names and signature when the house became too rowdy and efforts to calm them failed.

Here are the 46 bills passed by the senate:

1. Tertiary Education Trust Fund (Establishment etc) Act (Amendment), 2015;

2. Office of the Nigerian Financial Ombudsman Bill;
