Nigeria’s outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan, has signed the Tobacco Control bill into law, hours to the end of his tenure.
The president signed the bill alongside five others, his spokesperson, Reuben Abati, announced on Twitter, Wednesday.
Other bills signed by the president include, National Sugar Development
Council (amendment) bill, AMCON Amendment bill, Standards Organization
of Nigeria Bill, Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency Act and
Equipment Leasing bill.
The president’s tenure is due to end
midnight of May 28, the next day. The signing is his largest in his six
years as president but follows a similar pattern that saw him sign
Nigeria’s Freedom of Information Bill at the tail of the end of his
tenure in 2011.
