Ahead of Tuesday’s resumption of plenary, the House of Representatives says Nigerians can rest assured of better days ahead regarding their well-being.

The Deputy Spokesperson of the House, Mr Philip Agbese, assured the teeming population of unemployed youths of an enabling environment for job opportunities and equitable distribution of developmental projects for the citizenry across the country.

Agbese, who spoke to reporters on Thursday, emphasised Speaker Tajudeen Abbas’ transformative leadership in steering the 10th House towards unprecedented productivity and global influence.

Under Abbas’s guidance, he said, the Nigerian parliament has evolved into a dynamic institution where legislative innovation meets the needs of the people, earning admiration across the continent.

Agbese described Abbas as a visionary leader whose intellectual depth and inclusive approach have elevated Nigeria’s legislative standing.

“The Speaker has turned the House into a powerhouse of progress,” Agbese said ahead of the resumption of plenary on Tuesday. “His commitment to transparency, bill sponsorship, and stakeholder engagement has made our parliament not just functional, but exemplary. The Speaker embodies the kind of leadership Africa desperately needs,” he noted.

The Deputy Spokesperson highlighted how Abbas’ stewardship has amplified Nigerian voices on the international stage, positioning the country as a key player in global lawmaking.

Supported by Abbas, he explained that members of the 10th House have attended key sessions and made meaningful contributions at international bodies such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), Commonwealth Parliamentary Union (CPU), Pan-African Parliament (PAP), and ECOWAS Parliament.

According to Agbese, the 11th Annual Conference and General Assembly of the West Africa Association of Public Accounts Committees (WAAPAC), hosted at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, is another proof of Abbas’ leadership.

“I’ve seen firsthand how the Speaker has changed the game for us in the House,” Agbese said. “He’s not just a presiding officer; he’s a mentor who listens to every member, big or small.”

Agbese noted that Abbas’ leadership will drive the upcoming plenary’s agenda. He urged Nigerians to continue to support the Speaker and the 10th House.
