“For this particular session, there are staff members who went out of their way to make sure that we are able to meet in Abuja” Tunis explained.
The speaker also noted that going forward, serving members of parliament and former members who had finished serving their terms at the community parliament would also be honored with the Speakers Award.
The award was presented by the speaker in the presence of the President of the Commission, Jean-Claude Brou.
