President Bola Tinubu has said Nigeria’s challenges demand collective efforts that transcend political differences. He, therefore, harped on the need for executive and legislative collaboration without jettisoning the significance of effective oversight for greater accountability to all Nigerians who elected both arms of government into different offices.
The president stated this yesterday in his remarks at “House Open Week 2024” and the 10th House of Representatives one-year scorecard presentation at the National Assembly Arcade in Abuja. Represented by the SGF, Senator George Akume, the President urged the lawmakers to organize town hall meetings with their constituents to get their opinions about governance in the country.
Pledging his commitment to collaboration with the legislative and judicial arms of the government to ensure inclusivity, President Tinubu tasked the lawmakers with robust oversight of the executive’s activities and creating platforms for engagement with Nigerians.
In his opening remarks, the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abass, said the Green Chamber would sustain and deepen its engagements with Nigerians to strengthen the democratic process and build a more inclusive and responsive legislature.
Abbas said the House was dedicated to maintaining open lines of communication with the public and to continuously improving its processes to ensure greater transparency and accountability, adding that sustained engagement with citizens will lead to more effective governance and a stronger, more resilient democracy.
