How many senators does Nigeria's Senate have?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 109
- Step 1: Each of the 36 states elects three senators, which gives 108. Step 2. The Federal Capital Territory adds one more, giving 109. Answer: 109. Why not the others: 108 leaves out Abuja, 360 is the size of the House, and 111 has no basis.
