The National Assembly resumed its Christmas and New Year break on Tuesday, with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, urging members to focus on their national assignments as they are distracted by the political campaigns towards the general elections.
Kindly share this story:
He said as the lawmakers approached the end of their term in office, he was hopeful that they would continue to meet and exceed expectations in the New Year. “And we remain dedicated to the lofty, yet clear ambitions we articulated in our legislative agenda when we resumed in the 9th Assembly.” According to Gbajabiamila, one recurring criticism of the legislature in Nigeria has been the lack of continuity and the absence of tools and procedures for establishing an institutional memory. He noted that government is a continuum, as the actions of one administration will continue to impact the country long into the future.
