Sequel to the resumption of plenary by the Senate after its five weeks Easter and Ramadan recess on Tuesday,President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has admonished his colleagues to spare no effort in examining critical bills that will bring about national stability.<\/p>\n
According to the Senate President,”The rising cost of living, the instability in the energy sector, and the persisting insecurity in parts of the nation all these demand not just attention but legislative action.”<\/p>\n
Continuing he said,”Distinguished Senators, Much has transpired in our dear country while we were away. Our economy continues to stretch the patience and resilience of our people.<\/p>\n
“Legislative action to support the great work the Executive Arm led by President Bola Tinubu is doing to fix the myriad of challenges which besiege our nation.<\/p>\n
“In the South-East and North-West, communities still battle criminality and terrorism. In the North-Central, farmers and herders still seek protection and justice. And in the South-South, the questions of environmental equity and resource fairness remain unresolved.”<\/p>\n
Akpabio further noted,”These are not just news headlines they are the bleeding wounds of the republic. Our people look to us, not for rhetoric, but for rescue. But I believe that there is no river we cannot cross if we put our trust in God and faith in the people He has ordained to lead us in both the Executive and Legislative Arms of our government.<\/p>\n
“The task ahead of us this session is as solemn as it is historic. We will be examining bills critical to national stability\u2014on security reform, economic resilience, education, technology, and youth empowerment. Our committees will delve into oversight functions that could unlock the performance potential of many MDAs.<\/p>\n
“Let us carry out our duties with the spirit of statesmen, not partisans. Let us elevate debate over division. Let us govern with grace, not grudge.<\/p>\n
“To the Nigerian people, I say this: Your Senate is back at work. And we have not forgotten your hopes, your hardships, or your hunger for change. We are here\u2014refreshed in spirit, renewed in resolve\u2014to build a nation where peace is not an illusion, and progress is not a promise, but a pattern.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
