Some lawmakers in Nigeria’s House of Representatives are canvassing returning Nigeria to the parliamentary system of government.
The legislators Thursday presented a Bill for a constitutional amendment to that effect and it has passed the first reading.

“This is a way forward and it is going to solve a lot of problems in this country,” the lawmakers argued.
