It will be recalled that there has been agitation for the country to re- Introduce the parliamentary system of Government which the country used between 1960 and 1963.
In February 2024, a bill seeking to introduce the parliamentary system, sponsored by 60 lawmakers scaled through the first reading at the House of representatives.
Responding to the development, the former Minister of Works and Housing urged to proponents to reflect on the causes of its ” collapse” in the first Republic and ascertain if the issues had been sorted out or not.
He added that the system ” failed” the country and only quality governance would shape Nigeria better.
