President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sought the collaboration of members of the National Assembly to build a new Nigeria that will guarantee future generations a prosperous country.
In his brief remarks at the joint session of the National Assembly, the President said those in leadership positions in the country and Nigerians have no choice but to collaborate to build a new Nigeria, saying no one else will do that for us.
He said: “Let us work together to build our nation, not only for ourselves but for generations yet unborn. We must chart a new course and set the part for our development.”
While commending them for the smooth working relationship between the legislators and his government and for the quick manner in which they passed the 2024 budget, the President told the lawmakers that he would soon submit the 2025 budget proposal to them for consideration, saying, “We are walking the talks.”
