Speaking at an induction programme for new national legislators organized by the National Institute for Legislative Studies in Abuja, the incoming leader told them, “I need the support of the Members of National Assembly on the battle front. I need your support in many respects.”
Outlining those areas of concern, he noted, first, that appropriate policies need to be put in place that may have to be translated into laws.
Second, he said, the oversight functions of the legislature are critical in ensuring that policies are implemented effectively and transparently, stressing that his mission to bring integrity into governance would better succeed if complemented with a strong culture of transparent oversight.
