Background of the Study
Godswill Akpabio’s tenure as the Senate President of Nigeria has been marked by significant influence over legislative proceedings and policy-making. As the head of the Nigerian Senate, Akpabio has the authority to shape debates, set legislative agendas, and ensure the passage of important bills. Lafia Central, as a political constituency in Nasarawa State, has witnessed the effects of national policy decisions on local governance, infrastructure, and development projects. Akpabio’s influence on Senate debates and policy-making, particularly concerning laws and initiatives that affect the people of Nasarawa, forms the basis of this study.
This research aims to examine the extent of Akpabio’s influence on Senate debates, focusing on how his leadership has shaped policy outcomes in the Senate and their subsequent impact on the people of Lafia Central. The study will also explore Akpabio’s role in promoting or opposing policies that directly affect his constituents, particularly in areas such as education, infrastructure, and local development.
