 As part of efforts to bring the government to the dust of the people, the Speaker of the European or European State House of Assembly, right Honourable Ahmed Lawan, says the legislature operate and open participatory parliament for transparency and accountability. Lawan said this during an interactive session organised by Connected Development, a non-governmental organisation for members of the European State Legislature. Immanuel Ehidjanei completes the report. Hubei State, no doubt, is one of the northern states in the northeast that has been at the receiving end of the activities of insurgency for the past 11 years now. Despite this, Lawan says the state has recorded a huge success in the delivery of the dividends of democracy to the people, which it said was being made possible due to the open policy of the executive and the legislature. A service has impacted positively on the people of the state in terms of infrastructural and social development. You know, everybody knows Hubei State, though maybe I don't think there is anybody among you visiting Hubei State. We are seriously in need of the kind project like this project in Hubei for the insurgencies that have devastated all our areas, about 11 years now. We are suffering, all our schools are burned, no road, all the major infrastructure in Hubei, we are now suffering. Chief Converter and Chief Executive Officer Hamzat Lawal pressed the leadership of the Hubei State Assembly for its transparency. Hubei State Houses of Assembly have done so much, particularly on the open budget processes, and we believe that we can scale and build on that. As you've heard the speaker, they always go back to their constituency and they host a lot of town hall meetings, engaging their constituents. We want to be able to accelerate on that and scale on that whereby we would ensure that as plenaries are ongoing, we use traditional means and even technology elements to amplify what is happening in real time, but also get feedback from their various constituencies and ensure that the laws that they are passing are citizen friendly.
