By prioritizing accountability and collaboration, it vowed to strengthen governance frameworks, ensuring tangible outcomes for citizens nationwide.
Furthermore, it pledged to drive national progress through focused legislative efforts, ensuring accountability and transparency in governance.
This assurance was made clear during a session where lawmakers reflected on recent events within the chamber.
In a show of solidarity, the Senate passed a vote of confidence in the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The motion was seen as a reaffirmation of trust in his ability to guide the legislative arm effectively amidst challenges.
Addressing the developments of recent weeks, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele reassured Nigerians that the legislative body remains steadfast in upholding justice and will not obstruct due process.
