The Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria has commenced a one-week retreat in the cities of Toronto and Ottawa, Canada, to tap from their wealth of experience in governance and law-making processes.
The Nation reports the retreat will allow the Speakers to interface with top Canadian government officials and lawmakers.
Speaking during the opening ceremony in Ottawa, Chairman of the Conference who doubles as Bauchi Speaker, Hon. Abubakar Suleiman, said that the one-week training is carefully put together for members to look into practices from other nations for good governance.
A statement by the spokesperson of Suleiman, Abdul Burra, explained that the choice of Canada for the retreat is strategic, adding that it’s one of the most developed countries in the world worthy of learning from, especially the fact that it ranks high in government transparency, civil liberties, among others.
“While Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy in the Westminster tradition, Nigeria adopts a presidential system fashioned after that of the United States.
