He stressed the need to utilise the family culture in re-orienting the children towards imbibing moral values.

 The lawmaker called for collaboration between the President Buhari administration and the people of the country.

This according to him is imperative for the country to overcome her pressing socio-economic challenges and to make the nation prosperous once again.

The lawmaker noted that the Federal Government through the nation’s Armed Forces and the support of all Nigerians has recorded tremendous success in the fight against insurgency, advocating therefore  an intense collaboration between the citizenry and government for more than ever before to prevent incessant attacks from Boko Haram and eradicating all forms of criminality in the land.

“I am delighted that we are celebrating the New Year not only in peace but as a united country. We are today marking the New Year as one indivisible country and more than ever before determined as a people to live together in peace, love and unity.

“This is why it is crucial for the government and the people to continue to work together to ensure total restoration of security in every nook and crannies of the country and to set the nation’s economy on the path of progress once more. Nigeria is the only country we have. Let’s unite to defend and make her the greatest country on the continent,” the Lagos  Chief Whip stated while pledging continued support from the Lagos State legislature to boost development and strengthen economic growth of Lagos State through laws that would assist Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu in achieving a greater Lagos.
