Senators in Nigeria: Their Names and Constituencies in 2022 – The Nigerian Senate is the upper chamber of the Nigerian National Assembly, and it is composed of senators who represent their respective seats and districts. A senator, on the other hand, is a member of the Senate who has been elected to that position. The remuneration structure of senators in Nigeria, which includes all allowances as well as their monthly pay, has already been discussed in earlier postings on this blog. It is the purpose of this article to provide a list of the many senators from across the country, along with their individual constituencies and party affiliations.
Senators elected to the Nigerian Senate are regarded as the country’s highest legislative body, with their primary responsibility being the passage of legislation regulating the country. Nigeria has 109 senators, each representing a distinct constituency in one of the 36 states that make up the country.
Each state is divided into three senatorial districts, with each district electing one senator for a total of 108 senators. The Federal Capital Territory has only one senator, bringing the total number of senators in the country to 108 senators. The leadership of the Nigerian Senate is headed by the Senate President, who is assisted by other senators who have been elected to the position. The Senate President is now Senator Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who represents the Yobe north district since January 11, 2019.
