In Abuja on Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio called upon lawmakers to dedicate their efforts to the well-being of Nigerians.
Emphasizing the trust placed in them by the Nigerian people, Akpabio highlighted the importance of working tirelessly for the progress and welfare of the nation.
As duties resumed, he warmly welcomed lawmakers back to their roles and expressed gratitude for their collective journey.
The recent events, including the loss of soldiers, security personnel, and a tragic explosion in Port Harcourt, underscored the critical need for enhancing safety measures and ensuring citizens’ well-being.
The rise in electricity tariffs and petroleum prices further accentuated the urgency to address issues like affordability, inflation, and the overall economic well-being.
Akpabio stressed the necessity for the Senate and the House of Representatives to collaborate in enacting legislation that uplifts the Nigerian populace.
Focusing on restoring hope, rectifying injustices, and fulfilling commitments to citizens’ well-being should be the primary goal of lawmakers’ efforts.
The Senate President emphasized the imperative of waging an all-out and persistent battle against poverty and hunger by targeting their root causes and reinstating dignity to the marginalized.
Senators were urged to approach their forthcoming tasks with resolute determination and a profound sense of duty.
