Speaker Tajudeen Abbas announced a 100‑day programme aimed at clearing the House of Representatives’ backlog of bills and reports. The initiative, unveiled in a statement to lawmakers, is designed to streamline legislative work and bring pending matters to a close within a short period.
In the same address, Abbas urged members to avoid letting the 2027 election preparations distract from their parliamentary duties. He stressed that the upcoming electoral cycle should not interfere with the House’s responsibility to advance and finalize legislation.
While the speaker did not disclose specific milestones or timelines beyond the 100‑day target, the plan signals a renewed focus on efficiency and accountability within the legislative agenda.
Abbas’s call for a concentrated effort comes as the House moves toward the next general election, underscoring the need for continuity in governance and the timely completion of legislative work.
