He said, “Before we proceed to the business of the day, I would like to place on record that the past year has been a very difficult and challenging year for our country, as we witnessed virtually zero per cent budget implementation.
“It is our hope that this anomaly will be addressed going forward so that confidence can be restored in our government and our people will continue to reap the dividends of democracy, which is the reason why we all aspire to represent our people.
“We would also like to charge the Renewed Hope administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to redouble their efforts to ensure steady economic growth and development for the nation.
“It is our expectation that no stone will be left unturned to ensure full implementation of the budget of the Federal Government of Nigeria, going forward, and we hope we shall never go back to the Egypt that we have left.”
