Building Modern and Technologically-enhanced Legislature, including E-Parliament

The Senate will work to enhance its operational environment, ensuring that infrastructure is provided to support the achievement of a 21st century legislature. To this end, the Senate will take the following action:

1. Digitise its operations with a view to achieving an e-parliament.
2. Embark on a systematic archiving of legislative information in Nigeria dating from pre-colonial times to present day. Under this plan, legislative information including bills, motions, debates, committee reports, legislative proceedings etc., will be collated and organised in a systematic format that enables citizens access and holding of available information.
3. Support the effective take-off and operations of the National Assembly Library and ensuring access by citizens to its resources.
4. Establish online access to the Senate’s proceedings, schedules, committee meetings and other hearings in the Senate. This will include live-streaming and webcasting of Senate sessions, committee deliberations and other proceedings in real-time to foster transparency and public participation.
5. Establish digital tools and online platforms to enable citizens to take part in the legislative process, provide feedback, submit online petitions and participate in public interactive consultations.
