Nigeria’s House of Representatives is considering legislative measures to prevent what it describes as executive interference in its official travels, citing concerns over its constitutional independence.
The lawmakers raised the issue during Tuesday’s plenary session, where a motion drew attention to a circular they said challenged the autonomy of the legislature as a separate arm of government.
