Halfway into the tenure of the Senate, 34 senators have not sponsored
any bill since coming to office, according to official records released
by the Senate.
The Senate's Mid-Term Assessment Report shows that of the total 109 senators, 74 have sponsored at least a bill during the period starting June 2011 while the rest initiated none. Senate President David Mark sponsored no bill but, by convention, he is not expected to table any bill in his capacity as presiding officer of the Senate.

Based on this alone, the 34 senators would have collectively received
more than N1 billion in wages, apart from other hefty allowances
received in quarterly instalments.
