The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has assured that the President Bola Tinubu-led government will ensure that Nigerians reap the benefits of their God-given natural resources.
Speaker Abbas in a statement by his Special Adviser Media and Publicity, Musa Krishi on Sunday stated this while playing host to the Emir of Agwatashi in Nasarawa State, Abubakar Apeshi in Abuja.
The Speaker who disclosed that President Tinubu’s administration would work in collaboration with the 10th National Assembly said he’s aware of the recent discovery of a crude oil reserve in Nasarawa State, particularly within the Agwatashi Emirate, following extensive geodetic survey by experts from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited research.
He expressed confidence in the commitment of President Tinubu to make Nigeria’s natural resources work for the benefit of the citizens.
Speaker Abbas also expressed his desire to see that his party, the ruling All Progressive Congress becomes the dominant party in the politics of Nasarawa State.
Earlier, according to the statement “The Emir of Agwatashi Abubakar Apeshi told the Speaker that the visit was to congratulate the Speaker on his election to the Number four citizen’s office and to express the emirate’s support and prayers for him to succeed in the discharge of his duties.
The statement read in part “We have come on behalf of the community to thank you immensely for this good gesture that you have done to us in Oloso Community of Agwatashi Emirate.”
“He prayed to the Almighty Allah to grant the Speaker and his colleagues in the House the wisdom to make laws for the upliftment of Nigerians.
“The Emir was accompanied on the visit by a former senator, Salihu Hussain Egyegbola, who represented Nasarawa South Senatorial District in the 9th Senate.”
