Akpabio Applauds Tinubu’s Reform Progress

Senate President Godswill Akpabio says President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda is making steady progress, pointing to fresh reforms and innovation as signs of lasting change.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has praised President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda, saying the administration is fulfilling its promise to reshape Nigeria through innovation and policy reforms. Speaking during the signing of the Digital Identity Management Bill, Akpabio said the new law reflects the government’s commitment to modernising public services and strengthening national development.

He expressed confidence that the President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda is already producing positive results. According to him, improvements by the Ministry of Interior, especially in identifying and intercepting criminals at the country’s entry points, show that the objectives of the legislation are already taking effect.

“You have promised that under your tenure, by the time you are through, that Nigeria will never be the same again. Even from the achievements so far made by the Ministry of Interior in terms of identifying and picking up criminals at the point of entry, it shows that even before assenting to this bill, the bill is already working.”

Akpabio also congratulated the President for what he described as his leadership and innovative approach. He praised the National Assembly for turning the President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda into law through the passage of the legislation.

“Congratulations to you for the innovation, and congratulations to the National Assembly for interpreting your vision, and congratulations to the Ministry of Interior, and particularly our lady in NIMC, for the work they are going to do in being able to ensure that this piece of legislation is well implemented.”

He further acknowledged the World Bank for supporting the initiative and attending what he described as a historic occasion, expressing optimism that the law will strengthen Nigeria’s digital identity system and support future reforms.
