Delivering judgment in a suit filed by the Registered Trustees of Hotel Owners and Managers Association and marked FHC/UCS/1082/19, against the Attorney General of the Federation and the minister, the judge held that “any purported amendment to the Act by the minister is null, void and unconstitutional.”
Stating that it is only the National Assembly that could amend laws, Justice Faji reiterated that the minister lacked the constitutional power, legislative competence to amend an Act of the National Assembly or any part thereof.
