IjJay tribute 10 the Founding Fathers of our Nationfor the heritage of equity, peace and justice they passed to us.

Dear Honourable Colleagues, with your votes for me, you have spoken very clearly and endorsed the new direction the House of Representatives will rake - the route to remake Nigeria; to make Nigeria a Country of peace. justice and unity, a Country that protects her Citizens and affords each of them access to opportunities for aproductive and enterprising life. That is the Nigeria we shall work for; you and I; propelled by a patriotic zeal lind bound by a patriotic bond.

For 100 long have we lived ill mutual suspicion, distrust and disunity. For far too long have we dwelled on the i/;illg.1 that divide more than the things that unite us. Nigeria is greater than the sum of our individual ambitions IIlId greater than all our differences - be it of tribe, ethnicity, religion, zone, birth, status, association or aJftiiation. We must dissolve these lines of divide that exist amongst us. We must stop protecting and projecting narrow interests at the expense of national interests. Arise, a compatriots, we share a common humanity,

We must work to strengthen our practice of the Rule of Law. As Representatives of the people (the keepers of" our Constitution), we must commit our powers to guarantee the rights of evel) Citizen ill evel) situation (fuidetl bv the Fundamental Principles of our Constitution, we must stand firm on the values that built our nation.

0111' Econom» is ill a bad shape, mainly because of our inability, over the years, to make hard choices and u!riji! c.,..Noll', we have 10 rake the tough decisions that will tum our economy around. We must meet necessity with courage.

Unemployment is ravaging our youths. At 21.2% unemployment rate, Nigeria call do better and must do better. We have 10 revive our manufacturing industries and the agricultural sector. We have. to massively expand 0111' infrastnicture base. We have to re-engineer our services sector. We need to create the enabling environment for creative enterprise to thrive. We must support a private sector led growth. We must make the Nigerian economy more globally competitive.

Tlu:implctnentation of our Power sector reforms demands I/ew process energies. We must work supponiveiy and nrodnctivelv with the Executive to gram these.

Our Citizens live in daily fear due to poor security. We must re-assess and improve our security systems and mechanisms to guarantee safety of lives and properties.

We must be a listening Assembly of elected representatives. We should review how we federate as a nation witn rile aim of achieving more cumulative efficiencies ill the federating units, based on comparative endowment advantages.

Onr legislative agenda mustfocus on making new laws and strengthening existing laws to grant all of these.

:"' )\1 dCelioll IIlIdsectional violence and other crises have sought to tear ItS apart and plant distrust and disunity amongst our people. Peace and justice are our heritage from our heroes past and our hope for today. As the people '.I representatives, we must heal our people and heal our nation. We must work to redeem the elfons of 0111' political predecessors. We must work to redeem Nigeria. We must stand united ill our efforts and sacrifices 10 build a worthy future for our people.

We acknowledge that the dignity and integrity of this Honourable llouse have been called to question. We III11S1 possess the humilitv that commands introspection. We accept responsibility for ourfailures and ask Nigerians [or their forgiveness. Mindful of lessons of the past, we will open a new chapter. We will commence a /Jew era or responsibility, This l Iouse will act responsibly in all its endeavours. We will be responsive, transparent and tucountable ill all \\Ie do. We must recognize one common truth -- we are the people's representatives. 171isis rheir llouse ofRepresentatives and we are here as their trustees. The primary focus of 0111' legislative activities should therefore, be about our constituents. My period of service as the Speaker of this hallowed Chamber will restore the- House' of Representatives as an institution where the will of the people is done.

III intra-House affairs, dialogue shall be our most potent weapon. Our administration's modus operandi shall be partnership and not partisanship. You elected me to be the Speaker of the whole llouse. All of you, Illy Honourable Colleagues, are my immediate constituency. I shall be a Speaker of and [or all. EI'eIY voice ill this Ilouse /IlIlSI be heard and respected. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Our decision-making process shall he predicated 011 rivers of ideas and robust debates. I choose unity of purpose over conflict and discord. We may be of differing political persuasions but we are one people and we serve one country. In accepting this (iw/lcnge; l com mil to work with all the parties ill this Honourable [louse, for the greater benefit of our people.

We are humbled by this demonstration of confidence and therefore challenged to uphold vour trust as we are determined to justify this trust and confidence.

!VIy dell I' colleagues, in the course of discharging our responsibility to appropriate and oversight for and 011 the executive, we owe it a duty to our constituents (the Nigerian people) to positively deploy the instrumentality of this sacred trust to make life better for our people. The National Assembly has recorded remarkable strides in the preceding periods but we need to do more in reasonable harmony with the Executive.

In potitiral public relations, shaping perception topromote political harmony has assumed universal application. In our country, in the last 12 years of our return to constitutional democracy, the Legislative Ann of Governnu-nt has hili! a less impressive perception in the public domain. We therefore have a duty to reverse this trend through actions and performances within the context of our defined roles as provided in the constitution. Accordingly, may I appeal to our brothers and sisters in the media to partner with us ill this endeavour for the good 0./ 0111' people and country Nigeria.

1 thank the Clerk to the National Assembly, the Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly, Clerk House of Representatives and other Management staff of the National Assembly for all the work they have put ill to make this day historical.

Dearltonourable Colleagues, this is your House, this is your leadership, this is Your mandate. Run with ir. UI us 1//1 stand lip and pmy:

The work starts now. Thank you very much.
