President Bola Tinubu has said the task of building a prosperous Nigeria requires collaborative efforts among all the arms of the government and other stakeholders in the country.
Tinubu, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, spoke at the first-ever “Legislative Open” organised by the House of Representatives in Abuja on Wednesday.
He declared:”The task of building a strong and united Nigeria rests on the shoulders of not only the executive arm but also the legislative and judicial arms of government.”
Tinubu expressed his administration’s readiness to cooperate and collaborate with other arms of government and stakeholders to build a better Nigeria that everyone will be proud of.
He urged lawmakers to engage in robust oversight of the activities of government as a way of carrying out its check and balance function to ensure accountability while ensuring that corrections are made where the need arises.
He also reminded the lawmakers of the need to organize regular town hall meetings with the people they represent in Abuja so everyone can make a contribution to governance.
President Tinubu asked the lawmakers to focus on representative democracy, which he said promotes inclusivity, accountability, and good governance.
