Senate President Goodwill Akpabio has assured President Bola Tinubu that the National Assembly will back his moves to improve the standard of living in the country.
Akpabio gave the assurance when a delegation of senators, governors and captains of industry paid Tinubu a Sallah courtesy visit on Wednesday in Lagos.
According to him, the assembly would hit the ground running as soon as it resumes in order to facilitate laws for the good of the country and its people.
“The president has clearly shown a road map of his administration in the decisions taken within his first few days in office.
“These decisions and policies are going to turn the fortunes of the country for good. The assembly will match such expeditious measures with its full legislative processes.
“I would like to assure Nigerians that whatever will improve their standards of living will receive the backing of the National Assembly,” Akpabio said.
In his remarks, the Imo State Governor and Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum Hope Uzodinma said states would match the speed of the federal government in the task of nation-building.
He said Tinubu has declared the intention to turn around the economic, legislative and judicial systems for the best, adding that the states were equal to the task.
“You can see that the impact of the president’s decision on subsidy removal and reversal of the multiple exchange rate regimes has started impacting on the economy.
“It has received national and international recognition because it was a hindrance to the growth of the nation. We will just appeal to Nigerians to further be confident of the new administration.
“As he stated in his Sallah message, we all need to be united, work for peace and stability to attain a greater height in the comity of nations,”
