President Bola Tinubu has commended the leadership of the National Assembly for the support extended to his administration, which he noted has resulted in some of the important developments recorded by his administration.
The President gave the commendation when he received a delegation from the National Assembly who came to felicitate with him on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir in Lagos.
He said it was great pride for him to have the best of partners in the National Assembly, urging them to be all-inclusive in their bid to satisfy Nigerians.
“It is daunting, but we cannot run away from the fact that this country must survive the hardship,” the President stated.
President Tinubu acknowledged the challenges and the task ahead, assuring the nation of his unwavering determination to turn things around.
“Yes, there is poverty; there is suffering in the land. We are not the only people facing such, but we must face our challenges. We must find a way to eliminate banditry and terrorism so that farmers can bring out food from the farmland. If you do not have good roads to bring the food to the population, even if you grow the food and you are losing 60-70 percent to damages, you will pay the price,” President Tinubu said.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting, President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio said he came with the leadership of the National Assembly to pay homage and felicitate with the President on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir and to thank him for the purposeful leadership in the first year of his administration.
On what Nigerians should expect from the legislature in the days ahead, Senator Akpabio said: “Looking forward, the National Assembly will tinker with some existing legislations to further improve on the nation’s ease of doing business.”
After meeting with the leadership of the National Assembly, the President proceeded to a meeting with the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu.
