President Muhammadu Buhari, has assured that his administration will ensure a strengthened and stabilised democratic system in Nigeria.

Buhari made this known when the Presidential Implementation Committee on Financial Autonomy of State Legislature and Judiciary submitted a report.

According to Buhari, government was making efforts to ensure autonomy for state legislatures and judiciary so citizens can be guaranteed fairness.

He assured that the government will study the report and recommendations, and take an appropriate decision.

“We must ensure that trust is not compromised. This administration will take the report seriously,’’ he added.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Committee, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, said that implementation of the recommendations will entrench constitutionalism, democratic principles, and separation of powers.

“The recommendations clearly spell out that if uniform modules for implementation of financial autonomy for the state legislature and state judiciary are approved for implementation across 36 states, it will no doubt strengthen Nigeria’s democratic principles, practices, and public governance.”

He said the committee consulted with state governors, Chief Judges of states, Speakers of State Houses of Assembly, Civil Society Organizations and relevant stakeholders, including members of the public to come up with the recommendations.
