He said that though it was not perfect yet, the country had continued to grow in democratic experience and practice.

Abbas said that this year’s celebration was significant in the life of the National Assembly, as it also marked the one year anniversary of the 10th Assembly.

The 10th National Assembly was inaugurated on June 13, 2023.

According to him, Nigeria promises to be a nation that the citizens will be proud of.

He urged Nigerians to continue to support the government at all levels and remain law-abiding citizens.

The speaker said that it was the collective responsibility of all, with the people as the critical stakeholders, to make the government succeed on its plans, policies and programmes.
