President Bola Tinubu is set to deliver a significant address at a joint session of the 10th National Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday. The occasion marks the 25th anniversary of uninterrupted democracy and legislative proceedings in Nigeria.
In addition to commemorating this milestone, President Tinubu will also celebrate his first year in office. However, contrary to expectations of a nationwide address, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced that the President will focus his speech on the achievements of his administration and Nigeria’s democratic journey since the military relinquished power in 1999.
The program for the joint session includes speeches from notable figures such as former Senate President, Senator David Mark, and the current Chief of Staff to President Tinubu, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, among others. General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who played a pivotal role in transitioning Nigeria to civilian rule in 1999, is also scheduled to address the assembly.
Moreover, following the speeches, President Tinubu will inaugurate the National Assembly Library and Resource Centre, which will be named the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Building.
