The National Assembly has expressed satisfaction on the decisions so far taken by President Bola Tinubu.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio stated this in an interview with State House Correspondents, after he paid a visit to the Nigerian Leader on Thursday.
He said the legislature will join hands with the executive arm of government so as to better the lot of Nigerians.
“There is renewed hope not just in terms of the economy but in terms of the stability of the country and it will affect all facets of life including security.
“So, I applaud him and we welcome the development so far. As a Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, ours is to back him with the necessary legislation and also to bring to the fore most of the things that are happening in our various constituencies through motions and observations so that the government can take more actions since we are closer to the grassroots,” he said.
When asked what Nigerians should expect from the legislators, he said they should expect robust debate and decisions that will improve the lives of Nigerians.
“They should expect robust legislative debates. They should expect us to focus on Nigeria and they should expect us to help the President to make decisions that will help improve the lot of Nigerians as well as decisions that will ensure total empowerment of Nigerians.
“Above all, they want improvement in the economy. They want to see palliatives and they want to see everything about the wellbeing of Nigerians to be taken more seriously,” Akpabio stated.
The President of the Senate emphasised that the primary focus of government is about security and welfare of lives of the people, adding that the legislators together with the other arms of government are poised to do so.
