Description

The Legislator’s Companion is a handbook for Nigerian Legislative Assemblies. It is the sixth edition.

The book of 26 chapters provides a robust history of the parliaments of the world.

It links global development of parliamentary practices to the tenets and development of the Nigerian parliamentary system.

The book explores the emergence of parliaments in historical and contemporary  contexts, appraising new democracies and trans-national institutions.

Also, the book is a comprehensive historical road map, tool kit and manual of parliamentary processes and procedures. It would greatly benefit students of history, international studies, law, legislative studies and political science.

It is indeed essential for legislators, particularly newly elected members of Nigeria’s legislative houses.

The Legislator’s Companion would serve as a personal reference tome for  people intent on learning the instruments and modalities of the legislative institution, or intending to penetrate that institution.
