23 people also received cars as part of the Empowerment program, computer business owners received power generating sets and photocopying machines while students received laptops.
The Speaker while noting that 80 people have so far become proud car owners in his time, assured the constituent members of more empowerment initiatives.
Speaker in his remarks noted how the current border closure by @NigeriaGov is yielding good results as Nigerian farmers are now "smiling to the bank as demands for local rice increases."
While thanking his constituents for their support, the Speaker said he would continue to work with the Executive arm to bring more developmental projects to them.
"The fact is that the National Assembly is not a rubber stamp. This is a National Assembly that represents the interests of the people. The people of Surulere did not elect me to fight the Executive but to engage and collaborate with stakeholders to bring dividends of democracy.”
Happy faces.
