 The Senate will, on Wednesday, screen the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukaya Diarola. The Senate President Ahmed Lawan disclosed this in his address of welcome to senators from their annual summer recess during plenary. He said the Senate will also work on the medium-term expenditure framework physical strategy paper 2023 to 2025, budget 2023 and work to support the defense and security forces of the country. The distinguished colleagues in the next three months our focus will largely be on the confirmation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, work on the medium-term expenditure framework physical strategy paper 2023 to 2025, budget estimates 2023, working to support our defense and security forces amongst others. The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria will be screened tomorrow, Wednesday the 21st day of September 2022. The distinguished colleagues, they are 2023. It's a momentous period for Nigeria as elections will be held across the country. Nigerians are expected to exercise their franchise. Therefore, the Senate and indeed the National Assembly will work with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to ensure very successful, transparent and credible elections. We are ready to support INEC in all possible ways as a legislature. Already the timely amendment of the Electoral Act 2022 has provided very important innovations in ensuring better electoral climate. From the assessment of the prevailing situation our security agencies are recording more successes and the situation seems to be improving. Nonetheless, the Senate will continue to engage with defense and security agencies through its appropriate committees to ensure that the engagements are sustained and the successes are sustained as well.
