      abstract = {This book unpacks two decades of Nigerias National  Assembly spanning 4th8th legislative sessions. It focuses  on the core areas of legislative functions lawmaking,  appropriation, oversight and representation in examining  the achievements, challenges and prospects of the  legislature. This is particularly important because Nigeria  being the most populous country in Africa is a crucial  bastion of democratic governance in the region. Therefore,  conducting deep diagnostics of the federal legislature as  the custodian of popular mandate and the anchor of  accountability offered immense opportunity for learning  that would catalyze further institutional reforms and  democratic consolidation.
