The Presidency on Monday asked the Minister of Works, David Umahi, the Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Eruwa, Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of Government to honour National Assembly invitations.

It stated that the honour is in line with the existing harmonious working relationship between the executive and legislative arms.

The Presidency made the call after the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions, threatened the issuance of a warrant of arrest against those ignoring its invitations.

This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado.

He said the collaboration between the two arms of government remains critical for the actualization of the President Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda.

He said, “The President’s Renewed Hope Agenda is built on the premise of quick and efficient governance. One that brings tangible democracy dividends to the people without delay.”

“A critical part of realizing this vision involves a proactive, respectful, and transparent relationship between government bodies and the Senate in its oversight role.

“While we acknowledge that competing official engagements may sometimes make it challenging for ministries and agencies to respond promptly to Senate invitations. It remains essential that these opportunities for engagement are prioritized. And it demonstrates our continued collective commitment to accountability and good governance.

“Engaging with Senate Committees is an important opportunity for agencies to showcase their dedication to public service and accountability. While further reinforcing the people’s confidence in government.”

Lado, however, added that his office will continue working towards a constructive collaboration between the presidency and the National Assembly.

“Particularly its Senate committees, as a cornerstone of good governance and accountability,” he said.
