 Honourable Tajedina Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, assured citizens of participation in the 2024 budget appropriation process, as President Bala Amitinovou is set to present the budget soon. Plus, TV Emmanuel Ehidjene completes the report. Speaker of the House of Representatives writes Honourable Abbas has pledged to increase transparency and public engagement to build trust and support for defence legislature. He opened a capacity building retreats for Committee Chairman and assured that the 2024 appropriation bills would be sent to the National Assembly soon, allowing our adjourns to participate in the 2024 budget process. As we expect to receive the 2024 appropriation bill in the next coming few days, I wish to state that the House will convey a budget plan for meeting to enable citizens to make inputs into the 2024 budget appropriation. It is the fourth time such an engagement is planned at the national level. I invite our partners to work with us in preparing for a vigorous and an all-inclusive budget process. The retreat aimed to enhance legislative performance through effective committee management, garnering support from stakeholders who have advocated for synergy and effective citizen engagement. Issues around committee work plans and strategic plans, the good thing about the legislative agenda, it provides a framework, an implementation framework that serves as a guide. And we hope that this retreat can also speak to the implementation framework. One of the things that citizens are concerned about is the nature of our public hearings. And since committees will be conducting public hearings, we want to implore that you communicate timelines and the participation of citizens early to encourage citizens to participate. Former Speaker, Feming Bajabiamila, recommended answering the 10th House's performance by creating a uniformed oversight template which should be embedded in outstanding rules. One way to help the Nigerian people to better understand the legislature's role is to expose them to the inner workings of the legislature with a focus on legislative output, such as the publication of oversight and investigative reports. After such reports have been laid and considered on the floor of the House of Representatives, they can be published on a dedicated website as part of efforts to improve transparency and open government. The Deputy Speaker also believes that the retreat will enhance the efficiency of their work and align with taxpayers' expectations. There are two or three committees that will be handling a particular assignment of the House of Representatives, whether it be investigative or in the course of being appropriation responsibility. Kindly follow the guideline, let those who are supposed to lead these committees lead well, also with respect to other equal partners in this project, the other chairman of committees. That you are made to lead the other committees in a particular responsibility does not in any way make you higher in status. The one day retreat is anticipated to Aeons legislative performance by Aeons in committee management.
