President Tinubu To Address Joint NASS Sitting On May 29
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, address a joint sitting of the National Assembly (NASS).
The Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal, in a statement, disclosed that the President will address the lawmakers on the state of the nation and commission the NASS Library.
“This is to inform Distinguished Senators and Honorable Members that as part of the event to commemorate 25 years of unbroken democracy and Legislature in Nigeria, there will be a joint sitting of both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday 29 May 2024,” the statement partly read.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, will address the joint sitting on State of the Nation and also commission the National Assembly Library.
“Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members are expected to be seated by 9 am.”
President Tinubu, who was inaugurated on May 29, 2023, will mark his first anniversary in office on Wednesday. The Tinubu government introduced some reforms like petrol subsidy removal and unification of the foreign exchange windows but continues to battle the effects of such policies with soaring inflation rates and a high cost of living crisis. The President’s handling of the state of the economy has attracted criticism from many Nigerians including elder statesmen and the Organised Labour like the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
