“We screened and confirmed Governor’s nominees for appointments and other issues of legislative concerns brought before the honourable House, including valedictory sessions for our departed former Honourable Members,” Nwifuru said.
He also noted that it was under the 5th Assembly that they were able to influence the Governor to constitute the House of Assembly Commission; within six months of their inauguration.
Nwifuru further added that the 5th Assembly also reconstructed the hitherto obsolete legislative complex to a modern legislative complex.
He commended the members for their courage, maturity and sense of brotherhood which he said gave room for the smooth operation of legislative business of the House throughout the four years.
The Deputy Speaker, Odefa Obasi Odefa and other lawmakers took turns to share their experiences as members of the 5th Assembly and commended their constituents for giving them the opportunity to serve.
Also, the only survived female member Hon. Mrs Franca okpo, while adding her voice in congratulating the speaker for his peaceful leadership, urged politicians to give women opportunity to become members of the national and state assembly come 2023.
According to her, three women out of 24 members of the state House of Assembly is a poor arrangement.
