Insecurity: N’Assembly remains resolute in finding solutions – Lawan
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan on Sunday reiterated the resolve of the National Assembly in finding solutions to the security challenges in the country by continuing to work with the Buhari administration to change the narrative.
Lawan stated this at Malumfashi in Katsina state, while gracing the occasion of the constituency empowerment programme sponsored by Senator Bello Mandiya representing Funtua Senatorial District in the Senate.
A statement by his Special Assistant, Media, Ezrel Tabiowo, said the Senate President commiserated with the people of Katsina state over the recent deadly attacks in the state by the bandits.
“I want to assure you that we are going to continue to work with President Muhammadu Buhari till we are able to find lasting solutions to this problem of insecurity in our country.
“We will also ensure that government provides infrastructure across the country that makes life meaningful for Nigerians,” Lawan said.
According to the statement, Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina state was part of a large crowd of party faithfuls and supporters that graced the occasion.
Lawan applauded Sen. Mandiya for his initiative in empowering his constituents and assured him of his support.
“Today, we are supporting a young man, who has been supported by the people of Funtua senatorial zone. Senator Bello Mandiya has been a very loyal, committed and reliable senator.
“I want to inform you, his senatorial district that you have found a worthy successor to Senator Abu Ibrahim in Senator Mandiya. They say the young shall grow; this young senator will grow very rapidly because he has very good hands taking care of him.
“For me, I remain committed to making sure Senator Mandiya succeeds and he grows and matures into a great Senator,” Lawan stated.
The Senate President said that constituency project embarked upon by National Assembly members is so badly misconstrued by many.

“This (constituency project) is what we call the empowerment of the most ordinary Nigerians that otherwise, wouldn’t have been remembered when you’re talking about the national budget.
“But because members of the National Assembly are so close to the ordinary man, we try to look for those issues that make a difference in their individual and collective lives.
“So, for those who would today receive the motorcycles, the water pumps for irrigation and other items here, I want to congratulate you and assure you that this is just the beginning,” Lawan said.
