PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu will address a joint session of the National Assembly (NASS) tomorrow, May 29, 2024.
The Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal, said in a statement that the President will address lawmakers on the state of the nation and inaugurate the NASS Library.
“This is to inform Distinguished Senators and Hourable Members that as part the event to commemorate 25 years of unbroken democracy and Legislature in Nigeria, there will be joint sitting of both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday 29 May, 2024,” the statement partly read.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, will address the joint sitting on state of the nation and also commission the National Assembly Library.
“Distinguished Senators and Honourable Members are expected to be seated by 9am.”
President Tinubu, who was inaugurated in on May 29, 2023, will commemorate his one year anniversary in office tomorrow.
The Tinubu administration implemented certain changes, including the removal of petrol subsidies and the unification of foreign exchange windows, but is now grappling with the consequences of such measures, including rising inflation rates and a high cost of living crisis.
Many Nigerians, especially elder statesmen and organised labour organisations such as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), have criticised the President’s handling of the country’s economy.
