Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Executive Director of the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Clement Nwankwo, on Tuesday called for greater transparency, stronger legislative oversight and increased citizen participation as the 2026 National Assembly Open Week commenced in Abuja.

The event, themed “Three Years of the 10th National Assembly: Advancing Transparency, Inclusion and Reform,” brought together lawmakers, civil society organisations, development partners and other stakeholders to review the performance of the 10th National Assembly and deepen public engagement with the legislature.

Representing President Bola Tinubu, Gbajabiamila described the Open Week as a platform that should go beyond ceremonial activities to promote accountability, dialogue and partnership between parliament and Nigerians.
