Philip Agbese commended the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, on the completion of the National Assembly Library and the renovation of the Chambers of the House of Representatives, a project he facilitated as Speaker of the 9th House.

As the dust settles on the newly renovated main chambers of the National Assembly, a sense of pride and achievement fills the air. As I sit down to write this piece, I cannot help but marvel at the transformation that has taken place within the hallowed halls of the National Assembly, all thanks to the indomitable spirit and vision of Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

The recent renovation of the main chambers of the National Assembly, which now house the deputies and the Senate, is nothing short of a dream come true.

The recently established National Assembly Library and Research Center is a testament to the unwavering commitment of Femi Gbajabiamila, the current Chief of Staff to the President.

The Book of History was once again filled with jaw-dropping, striking paragraphs as the Chief of Staff to the President and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, toured the new National Assembly Library/Resource Center and the newly renovated House of Representatives chambers Delegates visited. , projects facilitated in the 9th Assembly under the leadership of Gbajabiamila. There he was received by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, chief officials and other members of the House of Representatives, at the National Assembly on Monday.

In a manner reminiscent of a woman in the delivery room discovering she is carrying twins, the unveiling of these projects has brought an unexpected and delightful surprise to the fore. The parallel between the birth of new life and the rebirth of the National Assembly is both humorous and enlightening, underscoring the unforeseen potential that lay dormant and waiting to be realized.

What sets these achievements apart is not only their aesthetic appeal, but also the fact that they were executed and delivered by indigenous contractors. The successful completion of these projects and the inspection of both facilities on Monday confirmed what many of us have long believed: that we are more than capable of achieving greatness without depending on foreign companies who often try to exploit us for their gain.

The inspection of these facilities has not only confirmed their quality, but has also served as a resounding refutation of the idea that foreign companies are the only ones capable of delivering large-scale projects. This display of homegrown excellence is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of Nigerian contractors and debunks the myth that foreign entities have a monopoly on quality construction.

Parallels are drawn with the Biblical story of Solomon completing the Temple begun by David, the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen is an example of humility and dedication, which I found admirable and worth mentioning.

Just as Solomon saw to the completion of his predecessor’s grand vision, Speaker Tajudeen has continued Gbajabiamila’s initiatives with grace and dedication.

Hon. Abbas does not like self-aggrandizement, but the one I know is filled with total humility and respect. His leadership and collaborative approach were instrumental in ensuring the successful delivery of these projects, further reflecting Nigeria’s commitment to democratic governance.

The significance of these developments extends beyond the physical structures themselves. The renovated chambers and the establishment of the research center not only elevate the image of Parliament but also reflect the greatness of renowned parliaments, positioning the National Assembly as a hub for legislative research and innovation not only within Nigeria but across the country African continent. .

This development opens doors for collaboration and knowledge exchange among legislators, promoting a more informed and progressive legislative environment. The impact of these facilities will undoubtedly reverberate far beyond the walls of the National Assembly and leave an indelible mark on the legislative landscape.

Reflecting on my visit to the British Parliament in 2018, I am struck by the uncanny similarity between these esteemed halls and the newly renovated chambers here in Abuja. This is a testament to Gbajabiamila’s remarkable work, and I am honored to witness such an important milestone during my tenure as a member of the House of Representatives.

Now let’s imagine this: the National Assembly is undergoing a makeover, complete with a stylish new library and research center. It’s as if the hallowed halls have been given a fantastic makeover, courtesy of none other than Gbajabiamila. The thought of stately politicians surrounded by the trappings of modernity is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face.

In the spirit of education and enlightenment, it is crucial to highlight the transformative power of these developments for clearer understanding. The establishment of a state-of-the-art research center within our National Assembly is a cause for celebration as it signifies our commitment to intellectual growth and legislative capacity.

With these new facilities, the possibilities for groundbreaking research, innovative legislation and joint efforts are simply limitless.

Special credit must also be given to Hon. Dan Amos, current Chairman of the House Committee on House Services, for his excellent supervision during the renovation and siting processes.

His close supervision also ensured that these projects were executed seamlessly, with results meeting the highest standards. Hon. Amos and his committee can be likened to the midwives who enabled the successful implementation of Gbajabiamila’s vision for the National Assembly. Their dedication and attention to detail deserve proper recognition.

As I have the privilege of serving as a member of the House of Representatives, the transformation of the National Assembly under the leadership of Gbajabiamila has not only evoked a sense of pride but also a sense of humor and awe at the unexpected and delightful turn of events in the events. . The collective efforts and dedication of all those involved in realizing this dream are overwhelming and it is a testament to the existing unity in Nigeria as a whole, regardless of party affiliations or political allegiances.

The combination of the unexpected twin babies and the unveiling of these projects serves as a profound testament to the fulfillment of a grand vision.

It is true that this recent unveiling of the renovated chambers, together with the inauguration of the National Assembly Library and Research Centre, marks a major milestone in the transformation of Nigeria’s legislative centre. The mastermind behind this remarkable achievement, Hon. Gbajabiamila has not only delivered on his vision but also set a new standard for indigenous excellence in infrastructure development.

The humor, the unexpected and the educational significance of these developments all come together to paint a picture of a man who redefined the National Assembly landscape and emerged as the perfect embodiment of fulfillment.

As we bask in the glory of these achievements, let us not forget the humor and joy that comes with such momentous occasions. After all, laughter and lightheartedness can make even the most serious endeavors all the more fun.
