    The President must address the national assembly annually -Senate



    The senate is seeking to compel the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to present a state of the nation address annually.

    The senate hopes to achieve this by passing a bill for an act to make provision for the state of the nation address by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
    The bill, when passed,would compel the president in company of the vice president and the chief justice of the federation present to a joint sitting of the national assembly an address on critical issues and appraise government performance in the past year.
    The address, when approved, will be different from the usual presidential address to the nation.
    The federal lawmakers want the president by law to address a joint sitting of the national assembly annually, explaining his policies, goals and agenda.
