Igbawase Ukumba in Lafia

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, yesterday, tasked speakers of State Houses of Assembly from the North Central zone on effective synergy with their governors for peace and speedy development.

The SGF tasked the speakers in Abuja, when they paid him a congratulatory visit over his recent appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the SGF, having been a leader from their region.

Akume, while congratulating them for their emergence as speakers in their various states during the recently concluded elections and subsequent inaugurations across the country, reminded them of the enormous task ahead.

He told them that Tinubu had passion for the country’s economy, security and other aspects of the society and was poised to deliver on his mandate.

Akume, therefore, informed speakers of the state Houses of Assembly from the North Central zone of the president’s desire to see that a similar passion should be translated across the states of the federation.

Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, told the SGF that their visit was to congratulate him on his appointment and been a leader from the region.

But he assured him of the resolve by the speakers from the North Central region to partner their governors, and by extension the judiciary, for peace, unity and speedy development to thrive in their various states.
