The Nigerian Senate gets plenty of stick from Nigerians and (if you ask me), mostly rightly so. Many perceive them as overpaid politicians who are not justifying their wages and allowances, and are using the position as avenues to further ‘enlarge their coast’.

One day we will have conversations about their over-bloated earnings, and their (in)/efficiency, but for now, let us tell you 10 major things they did in the last one year, as outlined by The Public Senate, a platform that has been created to educate the citizenry (especially young people) on policy, advocacy and legislative matters.

1. Passage of the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill
2. Passage of #OpenNASS
3. Passage of the North East Development Bill
