Accountability And Transparency in Legislative Process In Nigeria: A Challenge

Abstract

This paper investigates accountability and transparency in legislative process in Nigerian. Good governance of any country dependent solely on the kind of laws that are made by the legislatives. The faith of democracy dependent largely on the legislative process which has to do with laws that affect the electorate and citizen at large. The question that readily comes to one’s mind is whether we have fair representation over the pass years and if we do how accountable and transparent are they in the legislative matters. The problem of democracy in Africa centred on legislative governance. Most laws made by the legislatives are self-centred on them and seem to favour them not minding whether those laws have negative effects on the public.
