The Senate has resolved to tackle youth unemployment, poverty, and reform of the educational sector, among other challenges facing the country.

The lawmakers made the resolution on Thursday in the Red Chamber following the adoption of the Legislative Agenda for the Ninth Senate.

They vowed to channel their energy towards strengthening Basic and Technical Education by enhancing oversight on the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), to ensure the implementation of the provisions of the Act.

In his remarks, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, pledged that the upper chamber of the National Assembly would work to reduce the number of out-of-school children across the country.

“Today, the education sector suffers a lot,” he was quoted as saying in a statement by his Special Assistant on Press, Ezrel Tabiowo.

The Senate President added, “The 11 million or 12 million children out of school – we owe them that responsibility to do something about them, and that is taking us back to the implementation of the Basic Education Act.

The Senate President added, “The 11 million or 12 million children out of school – we owe them that responsibility to do something about them, and that is taking us back to the implementation of the Basic Education Act.

“How do we ensure that we reduce and eliminate the number of out-of-school children on our street? Whatever name we have to give that programme, we have to do something and government has to take responsibilities.”

Senate President Lawan also noted that the government, at the federal and state levels, would have to create some funds to employ and train more teachers.

He gave assurance that the lawmakers, on their part, would work assiduously to implement its legislative agenda.

The Senate President said, “This legislative agenda is particularly ours. We represent the people, we know their feelings, and we imagine that the legislative perspectives we have here may be slightly different from the executive perspective.

“But at the same time, we are going to serve the same people, and that is where the need for us to come together and to reconcile our thinking on taking Nigeria to the next level will be.”

Good step. Though no be today we don dey hear all these ones rant... If we don't see results and achievement on this, we won't believe in the Lawan led Senate

Enough of the talk, action pls

Yinmu.....Who still take these Rogues serious??

While still justifying N5.5bn allocations for cars.

I’ll be a fool to agree that all this deliberations are for the good of the citizens. It’s just another plot for funds to be released and embezzlement to take place

tackle with the 5.5bn jeep?



I'm A Bachelor of Arts degree holder/philosophy. I need any kind of job in Lagos


I'm full of energy, fast learner, ability to blend and learn things fast


God bless you as you have the intention of uplifting me out from this joblessness

May God punish all of una cos you people are part of poverty in the country imagine buying of cars worth of #5.5 billions aside huge amount they are earning as salaries.

We hope to see a positive turn around soon.

Na so them dey talk notting go happen na only when he be their money for cars na them go take serious

People Wey no know their lane. They are yet to deliver on making laws for the good of the country and the wellbeing of her citizens and are now fantasizing about appropriating the functions of the Executive?

Yeye dey smell!

Abeg no dey put ur hope for this people

No be today dat talk start

First of all, reduce your jumbo pay ...

Then we will know you are serious .

First thing first: cut down your salaries and allowances. Then cut down the National Assembly budget.
The oversight you are talking about, your committees in charge of the oversight will still go and take hush money.
You guys know what to do, especially in the North where parents just give birth to children and then unleash them to the street. Talk about birth control by your Hausa people.

Talk talk buffoon

Not just talking hot ,do the talk ,simple

It's called Talk as usual.
Keep talking it but don't walk it.
Talk it out loud and kill the action.

The talking has been going on for years... No be today.


Whatever one sows, he shall reap bountifully

What did they say?

Mcurim:
OK o senators.

Let's see how that pans out.

For this niche you need proper branding, start with a website.

Just agree to slash your salaries into two and we will bid poverty bye-bye in this country.

If I go to moto, I will buy you Cotonou.
Kongi masters go understand

Hmmm

Talks, talks and further talks with nothing tangible to show for it...except for regular upward reviews of legislooters’ salary and allowances

Tlak is cheap!
How you intend to provide good education, employment etc should reflect on what you earn.
How a country struggling to pay 30k to his civil servants pays legislators 15m and everyone is silent still a mystery.

These senators know nada... they're bereft of ideas to move Nigeria forward. Most are mediocres in the various field and are only in that position because this is Nigeria. So we definitely have a very long way to go before talking about real change in the lives of the citizenry.

We need to close that shop called Senate first and then ask ourselves what we really want.

Nigerian Senate is USELESS.
