 Speaker of the House of Representatives Wright Honorable Tajidina Bass has pledged to prioritize capacity building training for members and staff of the National Assembly. He made the pledge at a two-day capacity building training workshop for legislative aids in Abuja. The speaker who was represented by the Clerk of the House of Representatives Yahya Dan Zaria says the House is ready to engage development partners to provide targeted capacity programs for members and staff. The speaker commanded the Clerk for the sponsorship and for many other interventions they have rendered to the House over the years. Earlier the Executive Director of the Clerk, Mr. Clement Nguyen-Quote says there is need to support legislative aids in the task to assist the speaker to respond to questions and demand at this critical time that the country is faced with many challenges. Well this is the beginning of a tenth National Assembly and we do have a new speaker with his own collection of staff and the sense we have is that given the challenges the country is faced with right now it's important that the staff in the speaker's office also understand that these challenges and help the speaker to build a team that will be able to understand how to respond to citizens' questions and demands at this critical time. I think that when you're looking at how the country is going citizens demand some support from government in terms of the economic challenges the country is going through and of course the general issue of insecurity and so on and having a legislature that understands these challenges that citizens face it's a question then how do you get a legislature to understand how citizens feel and how they can respond to support citizens on this issue.
