The President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, has called on the management of the National Assembly to uphold the principles of merit, fairness and hard work in all their undertakings.
The President of the Senate gave the admonition at an interactive session with the National Assembly management, led by the Clerk, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa.
Saraki said he offered the advice because of the imperativeness of rewarding hard work and being fair to all in order to increase productivity among the staff. He said it was important for the bureaucracy to bring their experience to bear on their activities in support of the 8th Senate’s determination to deliver on its mandate to Nigerians.
“Our success depends on your cooperation, support and commitment. We appreciate your role and contributions to this institution. Many of you have been here for many years and have been contributing your own quota to national development.
“We are at the beginning of our tenure of four years and it is our hope that we can work together as partners in the interest of the progress of this great country of ours.” “I think we have all seen from the last elections that the desire of Nigerians all over the country is the need for change, the need to move away from the business as usual habit and the need for us to try and reposition this country,” he stated.
