Earlier today I addressed the 150th session of the Inter Parliamentary Union in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on the theme: PARLIAMENTARY ACTION FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
In my remarks I stated that given the current global economic and social climate, the steps being taken by President Bola Tinubu, and supported by parliamentary action from the Senator Godswill Akpabio led National Assembly, the efforts to provide safety nets for the less privileged and to build a more just and inclusive society were gaining significant traction.
I pointed out that in spite of the challenges, Nigeria had established the Consumer Credit Corporation, which provides access to structured, low-interest credit; enacted the the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) aimed at expanding access to higher education by providing interest-free loans to eligible students; and doubled the monthly allowances for corps members under the National Youth Service Corps,
I expressed confidence that Nigeria would continue to make progress toward achieving social justice, inclusive development, and lasting peace for all citizens and thanked the IPU for its invaluable work in nurturing synergy among national parliaments.

During the plenary session on Tuesday, March 18, I called on the Senate to expand the scope of a motion moved by Senator Aniekan Bassey, representing Akwa Ibom North East. The original motion sought the establishment of an ad-hoc committee to investigate the illegal annexation of mangrove islands located in Efiat Mbo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State by the Republic of Cameroon.
I intervened and amended the motion to include all disputed maritime territories, which covers parts of Cross River State.
Following brief contributions from the Senate President and my colleagues, my proposal was unanimously adopted. As a result, the Senate established an ad-hoc committee to investigate the illegal annexation of all disputed maritime territories between Nigeria and Cameroon. The committee has been tasked with reporting its findings and providing recommendations for further action.
The amended motion which now includes all disputed maritime territories, including some parts of Bakassi, is crucial for the people of Cross River State. For the people of Bakassi, this amendment will help enhance security and protect their livelihoods, promote economic development and empower the local communities. I believe that this is a significant step towards ensuring that the rights of our people and territories are protected and respected.

Earlier today I moved a motion calling for the urgent intervention of the Senate to halt the relentless rise in the cost of data services in Nigeria.
Across the world, young Nigerians are celebrated for their innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit—achievements made possible through access to the internet. The substantial increase in the cost of data by telecom companies will only result in stifling creativity and deepening the digital divide:
The World is currently at the 4th Industrial Revolution - the Internet of things- a fast, reliable and affordable internet is a precursor for Nigeria’s effective participation in this Industrial Revolution.
I am thankful to my colleague Senators who not only adopted all the prayers of my motion, but also increased the scope to include other services offered by the telecom providers.

During the Senate plenary session on Tuesday 18th February, 2025, while debating a motion regarding the annexation of the mangrove islands by Cameroon, I urged the Senate to expand the scope of its inquiry to include the unresolved issues surrounding the Ceding of Bakassi Peninsula.
Following my intervention, the Senate adopted this prayer and established a Panel of Inquiry to investigate all disputed maritime territories resulting from the ICJ judgment of 2002.
