The Nigerian National Assembly And What You Know..


The National Assembly is where the laws of the Nigeria are made. You do not expect to just walk in freely. Although in the past visitors were allowed to park their cars right in front of the building, things have changed due to the series of terrorist attacks in the country.

Despite this, there are still things that you need to know before you enter into the National Assembly. Let’s find out what they are below:
Dress Code: This is the most important that everyone needs to note especially the ladies. Everyone is expected to look smart but with a few rules. Ladies for example are not allowed to wear sleeveless clothes, three quarter pants, or anything that is above your knee. Do not take this for granted because they do not have mercy on anyone, you would be asked to go back home if you do not follow any of the criteria.
Gate Pass: This is another important point to note. No one can enter into the National Assembly without an invitation. If you are just visiting, you would need to call a staff that can invite you in because every staff or journalist affiliated with the National Assembly is given an ID card.
No cabs allowed: This is another important point to check. No taxis are allowed into the National Assembly. The green cabs are outrightly banned. But in this eighth senate, both painted and non-painted have been banned from entering into the premises. So you get stopped at the main gate and wait for the 20 naira NASS shuttles to take you in.

Taking pictures are not allowed: When you are in the National Assembly, you are not allowed to take pictures in the building if you are not accredited. You can take pictures outside the building, pictures of the building and around the environment but not inside. If you wish to, you can take permission before that day by going through the right protocols.
Cars not allowed after the car park: No car is allowed past the car park unless you have a sticker that says you are a staff. Most cars are only allowed to park in the car park which is slightly after the first gate.
Now you have read the five major thing to note before visiting the National Assembly. You should adhere to these rules to avoid embarrassment.
