Tinubu’s legislative record outpaces Buhari early in tenure, but the analysis stresses that assented bills, rather than passed bills, determine actual policy impact.
President Bola Tinubu has signed more bills into law in his first two years than the late President Muhammadu Buhari did during the same period, according to a new review by Legis360.
The AI-driven platform, working with the Public Enlightenment Initiative and the Peering Advocacy and Advancement Centre in Africa (PAACA), assessed legislative activity under the 10th National Assembly. The report noted, however, that “the volume of laws passed has not necessarily translated into tangible governance outcomes.”
Samuel Folorunsho, project lead for Legis360, explained the group’s mission is to make governance more transparent and participatory. “Everything that affects the people is more of the bills that got assented because those are the bills that now translate into law,” he told TheCable.
He added that the study helps stakeholders distinguish between policy intent and delivery. “We designed it to help stakeholders to separate policy intent from policy that is actually delivered,” Folorunsho said.
