By Joseph Iyaji | Akahi News
In the early hours of Monday morning, several Nigerian senators filed out to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 4:00 a.m. to receive the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who returned from an official and personal trip abroad.
Akpabio disclosed that he had attended the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Switzerland, held between July 29 and 31, where he represented Nigeria alongside the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas. Following the conference, he proceeded to London for a short vacation before making his way back to the country.
Speaking on arrival, the Senate President expressed gratitude for the warm reception by his colleagues and reiterated his commitment to providing Nigerians with impactful legislative leadership.
“I am happy to be back home, after a brief vacation. While in Geneva, Nigeria’s presence at the global parliamentary gathering was a strong one. Our voices were heard loud and clear, through my humble self and my brother, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas,” Akpabio stated.
He assured Nigerians that the National Assembly, under his leadership, would intensify its legislative engagements upon resumption, noting that the visit to Geneva afforded Nigeria a rare opportunity to showcase its parliamentary capacity and to engage in meaningful global dialogue.
The Senate President also emphasised the importance of continuous collaboration between the legislature, executive, and judiciary, stressing that such synergy remains crucial for advancing national interest and addressing the pressing needs of citizens.
His return is expected to mark the beginning of an intense legislative session as the Senate prepares to address critical issues ranging from economic reforms to security and governance oversight.
