You’ve Fulfilled Your Promise That Nigeria Will Never Be The Same Under Your Watch— Akpabio Lauds Tinubu

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his reform agenda, saying the administration is already delivering on its promise to transform Nigeria.

Speaking during the signing of the Digital Identity Management Bill into law, Akpabio described the legislation as part of the President’s innovation and reform initiatives, expressing confidence that Tinubu’s vision is gradually becoming a reality.

“You have promised that under your tenure, by the time you are through, that Nigeria will never be the same again. Even from the achievements so far made by the Ministry of Interior in terms of identifying and picking up criminals at the point of entry, it shows that even before assenting to this bill, the bill is already working.”

Akpabio congratulated President Tinubu for what he described as his innovation and leadership, while also praising the National Assembly for translating the President’s vision into legislation.

“Congratulations to you for the innovation, and congratulations to the National Assembly for interpreting your vision, and congratulations to the Ministry of Interior, and particularly our lady in NIMC, for the work they are going to do in being able to ensure that this piece of legislation is well implemented.”

He also appreciated the World Bank for supporting the initiative and witnessing what he described as a historic occasion.

Tinubu signed the NIMC Act 2026 on Friday in the presence of the Senate President, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu and other senior government officials.
