Abbas: N’assembly will introduce legislations to promote entrepreneurship, support SMEs

Tajudeen Abbas, newly-elected speaker of the house of representatives, says the 10th national assembly will introduce legislations to promote entrepreneurship and support small and medium-scale enterprises.

In his inaugural address on Tuesday, Abbas vowed to work closely and inter-dependently with the executive and judiciary to give Nigerians the good governance they deserve.

The legislator said the house of representatives under his leadership would champion bills to uplift the lives of citizens, promote social justice, and drive sustainable development.

“Through legislations, the 10th House will promote entrepreneurship and support small and medium-scale enterprises. We shall diversify our economy and provide sustainable employment opportunities for our youth. We are aware of the challenges in our education, healthcare, and infrastructure sectors amongst others,” Abbas said.

“We will work in harmony with the executive arm, while upholding principles of checks and balances. Our collaboration will be anchored on the principles of transparency, accountability, and respect for the rule of law.

“Honourable Colleagues, may I remind all of us that we hold our respective offices in trust for the Nigerian people. We MUST, therefore, justify the confidence reposed in us by our constituents to represent their interests and work committedly for our dear nation.

“Working closely with my deputy, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, we shall provide purposeful leadership in the 10th House of Representatives.
