He stated that this would be accomplished by providing adequate support to the current administration of President Bola Tinubu in order to ensure rapid economic growth.

He stated that the President’s actions thus far have signalled economic growth indicators in less than 20 days in office.

He said:
It is against this background that I call on the national assembly to work together closely and put our citizens first before any primordial sentiments or agenda.
At an auspicious time like this, the entire country has entrusted us the responsibility of oversight functions and representations at all levels aimed at shaping the polity.
This is aimed at making legislations that will impact positively on the lives of our people and bring about renewed hope and a rebirth of a new Nigeria.”
Akpabio advised members to be focused on the expectations of their constituents.
As we resume work today, I want us to focus on what brought us here; I want us to focus on the expectations of our constituents.
Let us embrace the diversity that enriches our legislative body as there are almost seven political parties that constitute members in this 10th senate.
Our differences in opinion, backgrounds, and ideologies notwithstanding, should assist us in bringing out the best in us.
Everyone with a common destiny should strive to ensure that the Nigerian people feel the impact of the 10th Senate.
