 The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has advised the incoming Thent National Assembly to maintain a bipartisan approach that prioritizes the national interests that made its deliberations. Lawan said these when he received outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria Katrina Liang in his office in the FCT. The Senate President said that the relationship between the National Assembly and the executive should be based on national interest. He also commended the outgoing United Kingdom Ambassador for her work with the Ninth Assembly in ensuring the passage of the electoral act of 2022. The call I would make here is for the next National Assembly to ensure fast and serious capacity building as quickly as we can because we need to bring into form that the members of parliament will be able to kick start immediately. We have to make every possible effort to provide for capacity building for our colleagues, especially those who are new. It's almost 70 percent. That means we just have to spend a lot of resources and we'll take this opportunity to say that the National Assembly needs a lot more resources for it to be in the form and shape that will provide the kind of service, parliamentary service to Nigeria. Speaking earlier Liang described Nigeria's politics as interesting while expressing joy over her stay in the country. The outgoing ambassador said she made very good friends during her stay in Nigeria. And I've had overall a wonderful experience here in Nigeria. I've made many very very good friends, have developed some really important strong working relationships including with you personally and I want to thank you for all the support you've given me and my team, all the many bills you've helped navigate through parliament which is of course the foundation of the whole governance process. It's what goes on in the parliament and the senate is really the foundation of a democracy and I think you've done an amazing job and we've worked very well with you on all of that. So this is really just for me to say farewell, to say thank you, but not the end. I hope we'll continue to whatever role you move into. I'll be certainly watching Nigeria very closely and I hope my successor Richard Montgomery will be able to forge a strong relationship with you in your new position.
