Buhari, however, gave accent to nine other bills passed by the last senate.
The Senior Special Assistant to President (Senate), Sen. Ita Enang disclosed this to journalists at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja.
He explained that the president decided not to communicate to the 9th Assembly on the rejection of the bills because it could not take any decision on the rejected bills.
Enang, however, promised to engage the leadership of both chambers on the rationale behind the rejections of those bills.
He said the current National Assembly could not take action to override them because the law forbade the lawmakers to do so.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the nine bills assented to by president are: Police Trust Fund Act, Nigeria Natural Medicine Establishment Act, FCT Management Board and Health Insurance, Suppression of Piracy and other Maritime Defence Bill, Institute of Transport Administration of Nigeria Bill, National Institute of Construction Technology and Management (Establishment) bill.
