Abbas Tajudeen, speaker of the house of representatives,
says solving the nation’s problems requires thinking outside the box.
Speaking on Thursday when he received a delegation from the
Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) led by Tayo Aduloju, chief operating
officer, Abbas said all hands must be on deck to fix Nigeria’s challenges.
The speaker said the parliament is ready to partner with
non-governmental and civil society organisations on better ways to solve
socio-economic problems in the country.
He said the 10th national assembly would support any
organisation working towards addressing the challenges the country is facing.
“We need to put on
our thinking caps and think outside the box to be able to proffer solutions to
the numerous challenges facing the country,” he said.
“We are looking forward to more ideas and more initiatives.”
The speaker said the lawmakers will come up with a robust
legislative agenda to guide their activities for the next four years for
Nigeria’s benefit.
Speaking earlier, Aduloju said the national assembly should
promise bills that grow Nigeria’s economy and promote small and medium-scale
businesses.
