Dear Compatriot,

The business of parliament in any democracy is a serious one, and exists solely for the purpose of representing the people’s interest(s) in the area of lawmaking, oversight and representation.
Flowing from this, we are poised to build an enviable image for the ‘People’s House’ where no one is left behind; one that puts every citizen at the centre of activities and achievements of parliament and ultimately builds an identity that enables us to function optimally as legislators.
Rep. Akin Rotimi Jr.
