Senate reaffirms commitment to economic transformation

Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, says the 10th Senate remains committed to shaping Nigeria’s policy landscape to achieve more meaningful economic transformation and national development.
Mr Bamidele also said the Senate would focus its legislative role, through collaboration with the executive and judiciary, on creating a conducive environment for innovation, productivity and inclusivity in the country.
Mr Bamidele stated these at the 2024 annual public lecture series, award of honorary doctoral degrees and inaugural dinner of the African Academy Achievers Awards (A4-24) on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Bamidele said, “The 10th Senate will drive four key areas to resolve some issues for us to be strategically positioned as a nation to address needs and proffer solutions.
“One is to drive job creation through economic diversification and industrialisation, build a globally competitive workforce prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the fourth industrial revolution.”
The senator added, “To create a sustainable economic framework that supports green jobs and climate resilience as well as ensure participation in the labour market by empowering women in marginalised groups.
“By enacting forward-looking laws and aligning President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, the Senate is driving the nation to a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable economic future.”
