Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that the leadership of the National Assembly is planning to build a state-of-the-art medical facility. This facility will cater to senators, House of Representatives members, guests, and staff of the legislative body.

Speaking on Thursday in Abuja, while welcoming senators back from recess, Akpabio highlighted that this medical facility would be a top priority in the second legislative year. The 10th National Assembly, which marked one year on June 13, 2024, already has a clinic.

Akpabio stated, “In this our second legislative year, it is our plan to establish a state-of-the-art medical facility in close proximity to us to serve the distinguished senators, honourable members, National Assembly staff, and our esteemed guests. This initiative aims to provide functional and effective healthcare for all. Within the last legislative year, we also completed and commissioned the National Assembly Library.”

He also urged the lawmakers to remain committed to the welfare of the people in their actions and decisions, emphasizing the importance of the cardinal principle of service to the people.
