Senate President said, “When we met just two days ago, it was clear that Mr.
President would soon be coming back home. In this regard, on behalf of all the
Senators, I welcome him back to the country.
“We must also
commend Professor Yemi Osinbajo, our Vice President, who, as Acting President,
held the forte in Mr. President’s absence.
“Now that
President Buhari has returned home, both branches of government, the executive
and the legislature, must continue to sync our policy and legislative
objectives to strengthen our economy through the diversification of our revenue
streams; creating opportunities for more private sector participation in the
economy; and creating access to capital for MSMEs and would-be entrepreneurs.
We must also tackle the unemployment problem head-on. We can only do this,
working together.
“Moving forward,
over the next few weeks, I am sure I speak on behalf of all the Senators when I
say that we look forward to considering the Virement request by the Presidency
which is before the National Assembly, and working towards the early presentation,
consideration and passage of the 2018 budget.
