President criticises assembly

    ABIDJAN

    President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused the national assembly of failing to perform its lawmaking role and spending too much time over the awarding of contracts, the BBC reported on Tuesday.

    His comments were made at the opening of a seminar organised by the House of Representatives, the lower chamber, on ways to improve the relationship between the executive and the legislature.

    The president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Adams Oshiomhole, told reporters last week his federation would step up a campaign for an inquiry into corruption in the lower house, the presidency and the judiciary.
