“I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, which has given us a renewed hope for a better Nigeria, his courage and dedication are truly inspirational.”

Akpabio said the 10th National Assembly had passed several pro-development laws to renew citizens' collective aspirations and foster growth in key sectors.

“Let’s celebrate our achievements and acknowledge the progress we’ve made.

“We’re working tirelessly to rejuvenate our economy, empower our people, and lift up the most vulnerable.

“Happy 64th independence anniversary, Nigeria," Akpabio said.
