Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, and his deputy, Hon. Benjamin Kalu have congratulated Nigerians as they celebrate the New Year, saying 2024 promises to be a better year for the citizens.
Speaker Abbas, in his New Year message, said with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, and the Legislative Agenda of the 10th House, Nigeria is about to witness massive growth and development.
The Speaker, however, noted that for the country to be great again, the people must support the policies, projects, and programmes of the government at all levels and in all ramifications.
He, therefore, urged Nigerians not to only pray for their leaders but also work with them towards having a better country, as he also urged political, religious, and traditional leaders to work towards a common goal of an indivisible and prosperous nation, noting that Nigeria is better united than divided.
In his own message, Kalu said that 2024 promises good tidings and economic prosperity for Nigerians, urging the people to keep hope alive, adding that the 2024 appropriation bill recently passed by the national assembly will substantially meet the expectations of Nigerians when assented to by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, believing that the economic conditions of the people will improve tremendously.
“It’s a new dawn. The New Year, 2024 is here. I congratulate Nigerians. I appreciate God Almighty His Grace. I enjoin all Nigerians to remain committed to the task of building a strong and virile economy.
“The new year promises many good tidings and massive economic developments. Let’s not give up on ourselves. We will come out better and stronger. We will overcome our current challenges.
“I want to assure Nigerians that the National Assembly is always committed to making good laws that will meet the yearnings of the people,” the deputy speaker said.
