The Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki yesterday promised to respond in a more systematic manner to the various economic and social challenges facing the country.
Welcoming fellow Senators back from the long break, the Senate President said, as the Senators await the list of ministerial nominees this week, the presence of ministers will create the space for greater policy engagement with the executive.
He urged all his colleagues to ensure that what is uppermost in their minds as they began the constitutional task of screening ministerial nominees is the overall interest of the country devoid of unnecessary politicking.
According to the Senate President, in the face of the great challenges that the country is encountering on different fronts, which urgently demand their attention, they must be prepared to put in the long extra hours to make up for the precious time they have lost for sundry reasons.
