President Bola Tinubu says his administration is encouraged by the National Assembly’s support over the last 19 months and is determined to take Nigeria to the Promised Land.
The President spoke on Wednesday while receiving Vice President Kashim Shettima, the leadership of the National Assembly, and former principal officers of the National Assembly in Lagos.
Acknowledging the encouragement from the lawmakers, the President pledged to work harder, embrace intellectual inquisitiveness, and make courageous decisions for national development.
Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, commended Tinubu for his courage and commitment to reform and assured him that the National Assembly was firmly behind his administration.
Akpabio highlighted the positive economic outlook under the Tinubu administration, citing achievements such as oversubscription of Nigeria’s Eurobond, improvements in ease of doing business, and growing foreign investors’ confidence.
Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, commended the President for his respect and support of the National Assembly.
He said many key figures in the administration, including the President, Vice President, Wife of the President, Chief of Staff to the President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and several ministers, were all former members of the National Assembly.
