The Petition
The petition was filed challenging the constitutionality of the twenty-three contentious pieces of legislation, specifically, the Appropriation Act 2019 and the NGCDF Act 2015 and there the need to be rendered null and void.
Case Summary
September 16, 2021
The matter proceeds to be heard by the Supreme Court and is listed as Petition E027 of 2021
TISA participated in the case as an interested party, supporting the petition. The principal issue of concern in the case is the interpretation of Article 110 of the Constitution, specifically the legislative functions of the National Assembly and Senate where the concurrence of the Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate is a mandatory preliminary step in the legislative process.
The status quo was partially maintained where some parts of the contentious pieces of legislation were rendered null and void and some maintained the status quo including the NGCDF Act.
