The Deputy Spokesman of Nigeria’s 10th House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has said that the House is fully committed to building a better and more prosperous Nigeria.
He pledged at a dinner reception organised in honour of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, in Abuja.
The lawmaker who represents Ado/ Okpokwu/ Ogbadibo Federal Constituency said the House leadership under Speaker Rt Hon Tajudeen Abbas has already set the ball rolling towards achieving an ideal nation.
Hon Agbese said that the major agenda of the House is to run an open parliament focused on transparency and accountability.
He noted that the House was focused on actualising its promise to Nigerians individually and collectively as a parliament.
He listed economic liberation, a serene business environment, accountable governance, personal freedom, social capital, safety, and security, education, and health as the focal point of the House.
He also said that for this reason, the leadership has set a pro-citizen agenda that is aimed to improve the welfare of Nigerians.
The Deputy Spokesman also said that the 10th House is looking at several ways to enhance legislation and bring governance closer to the people.
Among the strategies considered, he said are the use of technology and regular town hall meetings.
He said there’s a new feeling of patriotism, commitment, and devotion to the Nigerian cause as far as members of the 10th Assembly are concerned.
Hon Agbese, therefore, urged Nigerians to continue to show support for the House in its quest to make lives better for all and assured that in no distant time, Nigeria will experience a new lease on life.
