Ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s presentation of the 2025 budget to the National Assembly, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has called on Nigerians to present their demands.
Tajudeen assured that lawmakers were ready to intervene and assist where they can for the development of the country.
He made the promise while addressing executive members of the Zaria Educational and Development Association (ZEDA) in Zaria at the weekend.
The Speaker, who is the member representing the Zaria federal constituency of Kaduna state, emphasised the significance of the 2025 budget and called on ZEDA to identify their needs and priorities.
“This is the time to let us know what you require, particularly now that the budget is on its way. We are ready to intervene and assist where we can,” he noted.
Abbas announced the establishment of four new institutions in Zaria, including a Federal College of Education, state-of-the-art College of Health Sciences, National Open University campus, and College of Legal Studies.
He said these institutions will not only enhance Zaria’s educational infrastructure but also provide critical resources for the region, adding that 116 primary and secondary schools are currently under renovation while there are plans for further upgrades.
