President Goodluck Jonathan has signed into law the Tobacco Control bill, 48 hours to the end of his tenure.
Presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, announced on Twitter, Wednesday that the president signed the bill alongside five others.
Other bills signed by the president include, National Sugar Development Council (amendment) bill, AMCON Amendment bill, Standards Organization of Nigeria Bill, Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency Act and Equipment Leasing bill.
The president’s tenure is due to end midnight of May 28, the next day. The signing is his largest in his six years as president but follows a similar pattern that saw him sign Nigeria’s Freedom of Information Bill at the tail of the end of his tenure in 2011.
