Some members of the National Assembly who received the National Assembly News performance recognition award have pledged to do more.
The recipients were selected based on their outstanding outing in the first legislative year of the 10th Senate and said that instead of the usual criticism of the lawmakers, they are being recognised.
Ten Lawmakers were recognised – five from the Senate and five from House of Representatives.
Those recognised were Senator Hanga Rufai, Senator Simon Lalong. Others are Hon. Jesse Okey-Joe, Hon. Chinedu Obika.
Some recipients of the award however, decried the misunderstanding of Nigeria about the duties of lawmakers and called for more education.
The event which took place at the National Assembly had notable figures such as the Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Kamorudeen Oyewunmi; Hon. Okey Jesse; Hon. Anthony Adebayo; and Hon. Obika, whose presence highlighted the significance of the occasion.
