Lawan, Adoke, others to attend Tabiowo’s book launch

A significant new book exploring Nigeria's legislative landscape is set to launch in Abuja, promising a deep dive into the country's democratic governance. Titled "The Nigerian Legislature: Understanding Its Impact on Democratic Governance and National Development," the 530-page work is authored by Ezrel Tabiowo, Special Adviser (Media) to former Senate President Ahmad Lawan.

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Nigerian legislature, tracing its development from pre-colonial traditions through colonial rule, military regimes, and its current role in the Fourth Republic's presidential system. Tabiowo's work scrutinizes the institution's constitutional responsibilities, including lawmaking, appropriation, and oversight, while also proposing recommendations for its enhancement.

Several prominent figures are slated to attend the launch event. Former Senate President Ahmad Lawan, who also chairs the Senate Committee on Defence, will serve as the chief host. Other expected guests include former Attorney-General of the Federation Mohammed Bello Adoke, former Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany Senator Ita Enang, and Director-General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) Prof. Abubakar Suleiman.

Forewords for the book have been contributed by Ndoma-Egba and Adoke. Senator Ita Enang is scheduled to deliver the book review. The launch is scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2026, at 12 noon in the National Assembly Library Conference Hall, Abuja. Tabiowo, drawing on his extensive experience as a legislative correspondent and former Chairman of the Senate Press Corps, aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of Nigeria's legislative journey.
