He said even though the holy month has ended, “I enjoin us to continue to observe the health precautions and sustain the acts of purity, charity, perseverance and tolerance in our daily lives and general conduct.
“We should also continue to pray for Nigeria, our dear country, for God’s intervention against all the challenges that confront our nation and our world.
“I assure you on behalf of my colleagues that the National Assembly will continue to provide the initiatives and responses expected of a responsible Legislature in a vibrant democracy and as an arm of a caring government.”
