 Godfrey Logpabio, the son of president, says the national assembly under his leadership will give all necessary legislative barken to the removal of petrol subsidy by the president, Paula Tinnabouf. Speaking during his acceptance speech, Apabio said the terms assembly will be forward and ensure that legislative barken is given the policies and programs of the president. I want to play with you the single standards to permit me to offer special commendations to the president commander-in-chief of the armed forces. For the bold step we have so far taken, particularly in the issue of subsidy, if it requires legislative barking we shall give. We must begin to produce one fuel in Nigeria. We must begin to encourage production of diesel and others in this country. And of course if the stories so far are true that we used to have 69 million barrels a month and we are now having about 13 or 15 million barrels, that will show that we were subsidizing all the consumption going on in our neighboring countries in which we can no longer continue with our very lean resources. So we applaud the federal government for the first steps. We will try our best to also make laws that will move forward and encourage foreign direct investment into the country. The current administration has brought about the acronym of renewed hope and I think this Senate will join in ensuring a total renewal hope for Nigerians where they seem to have been no hope. I had the opportunity of serving as a governor and I want my people who work with me that I do not still believe in politically motivated infrastructure. Therefore the 10 senators of the federal republic of Nigeria will ensure very serious oversight functions. We shall carry out very serious oversight functions to make sure that we do not waste the resources of the country. We will put members of the executives on their toes, particularly the ministers, when they are ready to work, when they are appointed. We will follow the project. Fresh news updates
