Femi Gbajabiamila has<br \/>\nsaid that the palliatives provided by the Federal Government at this<br \/>\ntime of lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic must reach all Nigerians in<br \/>\nneed.<\/p>\n<p>Gbajabiamila said although the government has done its best to reach as<br \/>\nmany Nigerians as possible, evidence showed that many Nigerians in need<br \/>\nare yet to get any form of palliative.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The commendable palliative schemes initiated by the administration have<br \/>\nhelped alleviate the sufferings of some of our most vulnerable<br \/>\npopulations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, many of our people have not benefited from any of the<br \/>\nimplemented measures. It is necessary that we act to ensure that as many<br \/>\npeople as need help, are reached. We must also ensure that the<br \/>\ndistribution of interventions across the country is inclusive and<br \/>\nequitable,&#8221; the Speaker said in his address to his colleagues at the<br \/>\nresumption of plenary session on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Gbajabiamila added that: &#8220;At times like this, there is a tendency for<br \/>\nthe existing faultiness of a nation to become dangerously exacerbated.<br \/>\nThe government must not be complicit, by acts of omission or commission<br \/>\nin any such aggravations, as such will only make it more difficult to<br \/>\nmaintain the unity of purpose, that is essential to our nation&#8217;s<br \/>\nsurvival at this delicate time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He called on &#8220;the administration to take advantage of the unique<br \/>\ninsights of federal legislators in targeting the distribution of some<br \/>\nessential palliatives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When federal government interventions do not reach those that need, we<br \/>\nare the first to receive complaints and have to explain to our<br \/>\nconstituents the reasons why they do not qualify or why they have been<br \/>\nleft out. Our grassroots interactions provide knowledge and context that<br \/>\ncan be useful to ensure that the hardest-hit communities receive help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gbajabiamila said in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19,<br \/>\nNigeria must do everything possible to prevent large scale outbreak of<br \/>\nthe pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The restrictions imposed on our people as a result of the lockdown of<br \/>\nLagos and Ogun States, the Federal Capital Territory and the curfews<br \/>\nimposed by other State Governments are a necessary intervention. These<br \/>\nrestrictions are a marked departure from the norm, and many of our<br \/>\npeople are understandably having a hard time adjusting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honourable colleagues, as leaders in your constituencies, you must<br \/>\nensure that the people in your local communities understand the reasons<br \/>\nfor these restrictions, and adhere to all preventative measures such as<br \/>\nhandwashing, social distancing and other guidelines set out by the<br \/>\nNigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our best hope is to prevent the massive outbreak of this disease in<br \/>\nNigeria. If we fail to do that, and this disease begins to transmit at<br \/>\nscale, all our worst nightmares will become manifest at once, and our<br \/>\nmisfortunes will compound beyond our ability to respond. We will be left<br \/>\nto seek our recover, with limited resources in a long and brutal process<br \/>\nfrom which we cannot emerge unscathed. We must keep in mind this<br \/>\nunfortunate truth and act accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many have postulated that our current approach to managing the pandemic<br \/>\nwill not yield the results we desire. It has been suggested that we<br \/>\nshould look at other alternatives in dealing with this virus;<br \/>\nalternatives that are more suited to our economic structure and cultural<br \/>\nmakeup and are custom-made to our way of life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recommendations have also been made to the effect that we should lift<br \/>\nthe lockdown, open up the economy with restrictions, including the<br \/>\ncompulsory wearing of masks in public places. We will consider all of<br \/>\nthese recommendations and more. Whichever way we go, the total defeat of<br \/>\nthis virus must be our immediate goal and our highest priority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker revealed that in preparing for the new reality the country<br \/>\nfaces, he has established a Covid-19 Strategic Response Team (CRST) with<br \/>\na broad mandate to develop interventions and reforms and to update the<br \/>\nLegislative Agenda to reflect Nigeria&#8217;s post-Covid realities and<br \/>\npriorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Strategic Response Team will be supported by a group of technical<br \/>\nexperts, private sector leaders and representatives. Their experience<br \/>\nand expertise will ensure that the policy proposals presented to the<br \/>\nHouse are rigorously grounded in a fact-based reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gbajabiamila said the House would work on legislation in that regard,<br \/>\nsaying &#8220;We intend to bring these unique perspectives in our ongoing work<br \/>\nto codify the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP) into a Bill<br \/>\nthat will be considered by the House at our next adjourned date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will also at that time seek to pass a second Economic Stimulus Bill<br \/>\nto provide necessary relief to individuals and corporate organisations<br \/>\nin Nigeria. We expect that before then, the Senate will quickly consider<br \/>\nand pass the first Economic Stimulus Bill which has since passed in the<br \/>\nHouse and now awaits concurrence by the Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated global economy, and that<br \/>\n&#8220;at a time when the social welfare demands on the public purse are<br \/>\nhigher than they have ever been, our present reality calls for nothing<br \/>\nshort of a wholesale reform of our governing structures, systems and<br \/>\nprocesses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any such efforts must of necessity, begin with drastic reductions in<br \/>\nthe cost of governance coupled with determined efforts to drive economic<br \/>\ndiversity and innovation in the non-oil sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are no longer any sacred cows, protected spaces or classes. Every<br \/>\narea of our national health policy, economic policy, tax policy,<br \/>\neducation policy and security architecture are now on the table for<br \/>\nreform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must turn this moment of profound crises into an opportunity to make<br \/>\nthe hard choices we have too long deferred but can now no longer avoid<br \/>\nif we are to survive as a nation. This House of Representatives is<br \/>\nready, and I trust that we will find allies in government and across our<br \/>\ncountry who are prepared to make the changes that our country needs to<br \/>\nsurvive, recover and thrive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated the call on the government of the Peoples Republic of<br \/>\nChina to ensure that Nigerians and people of African descent resident in<br \/>\nChina receive the human right protections to which all citizens of the<br \/>\nworld are entitled in view of continuous reports of mistreatment of<br \/>\nNigerians in that country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are the same rights and privileges the people of China receive in<br \/>\nforeign lands, including here in Nigeria. Where there are credible cases<br \/>\nof discrimination, harassment or rights abuses against our citizens,<br \/>\nswift and visible action must be taken by the Chinese authorities to<br \/>\nsafeguard lives, livelihoods, property and the sense of human dignity of<br \/>\nNigerians and fellow Africans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While commending President Muhammadu Buhari for all the actions taken so<br \/>\nfar, the Speaker also lauded the efforts of the Presidential Task Force<br \/>\non Covid-19, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), well-meaning<br \/>\nNigerians that have contributed to the fight against the pandemic, among<br \/>\nothers.<\/p>\n<p>He also thanked his colleagues for their contributions to the welfare<br \/>\nand well being of their constituents in this challenging time.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep.
