DEPUTY Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sulaimon Lasun Yussuff, says there is “serious hope for a better Nigeria” if the people support and cooperate with President Mohammodu Buhari in his crusade at tackling corruption and other vices bedeviling the nation.

In his‎ new year message, Lasun said the stage is set for the All progressives Congress-led Federal Government to give a radical approach to the “development of this country so that Nigeria could compete with other developed nations of the world.”

The Deputy Speaker stated that with the budget presented to the National Assembly by the President, there are signs that infrastructure would be provided and the standard of living of the people would be improved tremendously.

“Nigeria is on the threshold of regaining its full potentials because that is what we deserve and the signs are beginning to show.

“It is my appeal to Nigerians that we support the government of the day as it tries to address some of the fundamental problems confronting the growth of our country like unemployment, unstable power, deplorable roads and unacceptable healthcare delivery.

“As House of Representatives, we are determined to throw our weight behind the President in tackling issue of corruption.

“It is our believe that anyone caught in corrupt acts should be made to face the wrath of the law because corruption has been the bane of the development of this country,” he said.
