''The meeting signifies a good working relationship between executive and legislative arms of Nigeria's Federal Government, which is a necessity for national development. Additionally, the meeting demonstrates that the nation is working,'' Saraki wrote on his official website Thursday morning.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the closed-door meeting which lasted for about two hours, the senate president said, ''We have a common goal to see that we work together for the interest of the country as a whole,'' he said. ''We are talking about what will make Nigeria work, we are talking about the promises we made during elections. Those are the big issues we are talking about and to ensure that there are no distractions. The focus is to ensure that the executive arm does things in the interest of the county. It is normal in democratic setting, from time to time, you see the parliament talking with the executive, and that is how to make things work. We are committed to work together and it is going to be for the good of Nigerians at large. It is a good development. We are all committed to what we are all elected to do in order to make Nigeria work.''
This marked the first official face-to-face meeting between executive and legislative arms of Nigeria's Federal Government, since assuming office on May 29, 2015.
