President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has charged members of the Red Chamber to place national interest above partisan considerations as they resumed plenary after the legislative recess.
He declared that Nigerians expected the National Assembly to respond to the country’s mounting security and economic challenges with courage, patriotism and purposeful legislation.
In a keynote address marking the resumption of Senate sittings, Akpabio said the legislature must rise to the expectations of Nigerians by enacting laws that would strengthen national security, stimulate economic growth, improve healthcare and education, create opportunities for young people and protect the vulnerable.
