President Tinubu, who was sworn in on May 29, 2023, will mark his first anniversary in office on Wednesday. The Mr Tinubu government introduced some reforms like petrol subsidy removal and unification of the foreign exchange windows but continues to battle the effects of such policies with soaring inflation rates and a high cost of living crisis.
“This is to inform Senators and members (of the House of Representatives) that as part of the event to commemorate 25 years of unbroken democracy and legislature in Nigeria, there will be a joint sitting of both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Wednesday, May 29, 2024,” the statement partly read.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will address the joint sitting on state of the nation and also commission the National Assembly Library.
“Senators and members (of the House of Representatives) are expected to be seated by 9 am.”
The last year of the Tinubu administration has seen heavy criticism from quarters who have tackled his administration’s inability to tackle hardships in the face of mounting inflationary pressure on prices of amenities like food, electricity, transportation, energy, and housing.
