Make Nigerians follow, understand lawmaking – Gbajabiamila tells NASS

Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has called on the National Assembly to make Nigerian citizens understand the process of lawmaking.

Gbajabiamila made the call on Tuesday during the 2026 National Assembly Open Week.

He also charged lawmakers to always strive to hear from young Nigerians from every walk of life.

According to him: “Citizens should be able to follow how laws are made, understand how public resources are appropriated, and see how legislative oversight protects the national interests.

“Equally, the legislature must continue to hear from young Nigerians, hear from the women, hear from persons with disabilities, civil society, the private sector, professional bodies, and communities across the federation.

“Having had the privilege of serving as Speaker of the House of Representatives, I understand the weight of the gavel and the difficult task of reconciling competing interests in a manner that preserves unity and advances the common good.”
