Anambra Assembly passes 50 bills in four years

Onitsha—Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Princess Chinwe Nwaebili, yesterday, said the legislature passed 50 bills within her four years tenure.

Speaking exclusively with the Vanguard, Nwaebili said out of the 50 bills passed 45 bills were assented to by the state governor.


According to her, the rapid development of the state stemmed from the cordial relationship that existed between the lawmakers and the executive arm of government.

She urged the incoming legislators to maintain the same cordial relationship with the executive arm to enable governor Willie Obiano to continue to give full blast democracy dividend to the people of the state.

“I must have to proudly say without sounding immodest that during my four years in office as speaker, I achieved a lot for the House. For example, my office that was a make-shift office was renovated to the standard of a speaker’s office.”

Besides, she said her administration built an ultra modern canteen through the financial contributions by lawmakers in the House.

“We have also put up a legislative building that would provide offices to each of the 30 lawmakers we have in the House and this would be completed before the incoming lawmakers come in.

Appraising her four years in office the outgoing speaker said her four years in office were not only educative but rewarding in spite of challenges mostly from female lawmakers.

Nwaebili further said she was able to make laudable achievements within her tenure with the maximum cooporation from the 30 members of the House, particularly the male lawmakers.

“I had sadness and joy, but I am happy that God saw me through the challenges I had as a speaker. We all worked as a team in the interest of Anambra State irrespective of party leanings.”
