objective
A bill is first introduced in the Senate and, after debate, is passed with an amendment that changes one of its clauses. Outline the subsequent steps required for the bill to become law in Nigeria, specifying what happens to the amendment during the process.
Answer Options
A.
If the House rejects the amendment, the bill is discarded and cannot be reintroduced in the current session.
B.
After the Senate passes the amended bill, it is sent directly to the President for assent; the House of Representatives does not review the amendment.
C.
The amended bill returns to the Senate for a second reading; if the Senate approves, it becomes law without involving the House.
Correct Answer
D.
After the Senate passes the amended bill, it goes to the House of Representatives. The House can either accept the amendment and pass the bill, or reject it, sending it back to the Senate. If the two chambers disagree, a conference committee works out a compromise. Once both chambers approve the same text, the bill is sent to the President, who may sign it into law or withhold assent (subject to a possible legislative override).
