Benjamin Kalu, Speaker Abbas said that the engagement offered a good opportunity to reflect and evaluate the critical lessons learned from the FCDO\u2019s interventions, which he said, have played an instrumental role in advancing democracy and governance in Nigeria, particularly within the legislature.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cAs we approach the mid-term of the 10th Assembly, our commitment to collaboration with civil society organisations remains steadfast.<\/p>\n<p>We are working diligently to deliver on key areas outlined in our Legislative Agenda, particularly constitutional review judicial, and electoral reforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Committees on Constitution Review and Electoral Matters are fully engaged, with ongoing support from PLAC and the FCDO. We are determined to ensure these reforms strengthen our democratic institutions and contribute to developing a more just and equitable society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne area of particular concern is the local government system, a vital but often neglected tier of governance. As our Legislative Agenda outlines, we are committed to ensuring that local governments have full financial and operational <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/13\/governors-are-in-support-of-financial-autonomy-for-state-assemblies-says-tambuwal\/\">autonomy<\/a>. These reforms are essential for empowering local governments to serve their communities effectively and restoring public trust in grassroots governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudicial reform is another priority for the House of Representatives. While the recent salary increment for judicial officers is commendable, our focus remains on broader reforms that will enhance the judiciary\u2019s independence, accountability, and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>These reforms, including constitutional amendments and stricter oversight of the judicial appointment process, are crucial for upholding the rule of law and fostering economic development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Abbas further assured the commitment of the House towards improving the lives of the citizenry through the enactment of all-inclusive legislations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 10th National Assembly remains focused on this approach, continuously seeking ways to improve the lives of our citizens through responsive and inclusive lawmaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA notable example of our commitment to engaging with citizens was convening the Citizens\u2019 Town Hall on the 2024 Appropriation Bill. This event provided a platform for direct dialogue between lawmakers and the public, enabling legislators to understand the citizens\u2019 priorities better and reflect them in the budget. This initiative also highlights the broader challenge of diminished public trust in government institutions in Nigeria and across Africa. We are gradually rebuilding confidence in the legislative process by facilitating such engagements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we reflect on the successes of the FCDO\u2019s PERL project, we must also acknowledge the invaluable lessons learned. Continuous capacity building, inclusive stakeholder engagement, and strategic partnerships are critical to maintaining our progress in the National Assembly. While the PERL project may have been concluded, the knowledge and experience gained will serve as a foundation for future achievements. The House of Representatives is committed to institutionalising and sustaining these gains,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Abbas also commended the efforts of the numerous development partners towards deepening democratic practice in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broader reforms that will enhance the judiciary\u2019s independence, accountability, and efficiency Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, underlined on Tuesday the parliament&#8217;s intention to grant full and operational autonomy to Nigeria&#8217;s Local Government Areas (LGAs).
