The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has made it clear that he is still loyal and committed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and that he believes in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari to redeem the party’s electoral promises made during the 2015 general elections.
The Senate President spoke at the 10th Abuja Housing Show on Monday in Abuja, in which top government officials and prominent stakeholders in the housing sector brainstormed on the theme: “Expanding Access To Affordable Housing In Africa.”
Saraki, who acknowledged the presence of the APC National Organizing Secretary, Senator Osita Izunaso, promised that the APC government is unwaveringly committed to the social welfare of the people while re-affirming his unalloyed loyalty to the party.
“The Senate and the National Assembly as a whole believe very strongly that we must make a difference in the housing sector,” he said.
The Senate President, reacting to observations that the existing housing laws needed amendment and repeal, charged the organizers of the Summit to take a further step by forwarding a document of laws requiring amendments to the National Assembly.
“I assure you that action will be taken instantaneously,” Saraki promised.
Saraki asserted that the Senate has commenced the review processes of several laws affecting property rights and access housing in the country.
According to him, the review of the National Housing Fund Act is ongoing and would be completed before the end of the year. [myad]
