President Muhammadu Buhari has assented to the national assembly service pensions board (establishment) bill.
The bill establishes the national assembly service pensions board to administer the pension scheme for personnel of the service.
The bill exempts the personnel of the national assembly service from the contributory pension scheme.
Buhari also assented to the Federal Road Safety Commission Training Institutions (establishment) bill, for capacity building and training in road traffic administration and safety management.
In a statement on Sunday, Babajide Omoworare, senior special adviser to the president on national assembly matters, said Buhari also assented to the national commission for almajiri and out-of-school children education bill.
The act seeks to provide a multimodal system of education to tackle the menace of illiteracy, develop skill acquisition and entrepreneurship programmes, and prevent youth poverty, delinquency and destitution in Nigeria.
