The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said on Friday that the signing of the appropriation bill into law showed that the legislative and executive arms could come together to work for the electorate.
Saraki said this in his remark at the signing of the N6.06 trillion appropriation bill into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We have shown again that, despite the challenges, we can come together again and work as a government in the interest of the people that put us here.
“We should look at the good sides and more and we forge ahead.
“The most important part in the signing is the implementation, to ensure it is to the benefit of Nigerians who waited,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the Senate president as saying at the event.
Saraki said reports that the budget could be signed had raised the tempo of activities in the country.
“So, you can see the interest of our people; so, the onus lies on all of us to ensure implementation,’’ he said.
