I was away in Rome and itwas a good thing that he stood in for me.Knowingthat he is the Leader of the House, I felt that he is the most appropriateperson to do that, because when youre talking of effective leadership in thePublic Service, theres no way it can be provided without the support ofothers, especially when it comes to the business of the National Assembly.Weall know that unlike the Executive where not all are elected into leadership,in Parliament, you didnt bring anyone into the House, so theres always thatparity. I want to say in recognising that the House of Representatives has beeneffective and item has been on account of the contribution of all of us, all members,and as I am accepting this award, I do it on behalf of all members.The post 8th House Has Passed Unprecedented Number Of BillsDogara appeared first on leadership.ng.
