The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha said on Saturday that Nigerians are looking forward to members of the National Assembly to provide solutions to the challenges facing the nation.

Mustapha who spoke at a retreat for leaders and members of the House of Representatives on the reversed legislative agenda also said that the smooth relationship existing between the legislature and the executive has made for smooth running of government.

He challenged the lawmakers to draw from their collective wealth of experience and constitutional powers to chart a course that will take Nigeria to a higher trajectory of development in a sustainable manner.

He said the retreat was coming at a time when the country and indeed the entire world was facing the most important emergency of this generation in the form of COVID-19 pandemic.

He said the impact of the pandemic has disrupted all global systems, including governance, economy, lawmaking, food production, transportation, education and health systems to mention but a few, adding that the most advanced systems in the world have been tested to their limits.

Mustapha said this is the right time for the legislature to recalibrate and reposition itself on the delivery of the expected outcomes of the contract with Nigerians because the next three years will be very critical to our nation.

According to him:

“In my capacity as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, I can attest to the fact that the mutual relationship that currently exists between the Executive and the Legislature has made governance more result orientated and development driven.

“This is made more manifest in the shared understanding that Nigerians deserve the best from their leaders at all times.”
