As Nigeria marks 26 years of uninterrupted democracy, the 10th National Assembly has reached its midterm milestone, with Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, highlighting its accomplishments and charting the road ahead for Nigeria’s democratic future.

In a comprehensive midterm statement released to journalists on Monday, Bamidele described the occasion as a moment of reflection, both on Nigeria’s journey away from military rule and the work still needed to entrench representative governance

He emphasized that they stemmed not from internal failings but from the complexities of national recovery in a difficult era.

Nevertheless, he said the Assembly had embraced its legislative role with a sense of responsibility, working under intense public scrutiny and criticism.

He argued that the adversarial posture of previous Assemblies often hampered governance, while the 10th Assembly has pursued constructive engagement without compromising its constitutional independence.

On Landmark Legislation and Economic Reforms, Bamidele identified two standout legislative achievements were the Student Loan (Access to Higher Education) Act, 2024, and the Tax Reform Bills, 2025.

He urged Nigerians from all walks of life to actively participate in this nation-building effort.
