Nigerian Senate Advances Policies for $1 Trillion Economy by 2030

Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has reaffirmed the Nigerian Senate’s commitment to passing legislation that will help the country reach a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

Speaking at a meeting with a UK Parliament delegation in Abuja, Bamidele outlined key legislative measures enacted by the 10th Senate to drive economic growth, security, and democratic stability.

Economic and Legislative Reforms “Since the birth of the 10th Senate about two years ago, I have been discharging the duties of my office with modest records of accomplishments. One of such accomplishments is the timely passage of key legislations, particularly in the areas of fiscal reform and national security,” Bamidele said.

He emphasized that bipartisan cooperation has helped implement laws fostering economic competitiveness, positioning Nigeria for substantial growth.

“I am proud to say that many of these legislative initiatives are already making a difference in the daily lives of our citizens. As we look towards the future, we remain deeply committed to strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions.”

Enhancing International Legislative Cooperation Bamidele stressed the significance of global partnerships in advancing Nigeria’s legislative capacity and economic policies. “Our engagement with different parliamentary associations and institutions across the world is helping us address the dearth of institutional capacity, ensuring that Nigeria benefits from global best practices.”

Gender Representation in Politics The discussion also touched on gender inclusivity in Nigeria’s political system. UK delegation leader Kate Osamor advocated for greater female representation in governance. “We have to make sure that more women are in the parliament. Every society is a reflection of elected representatives.”

Bamidele assured the UK delegation that the 10th Senate is committed to improving women’s participation in politics through legislative action.

These legislative reforms and international collaborations align with Nigeria’s broader strategy to enhance economic growth, improve governance, and ensure sustainable development by the end of the decade.
