The Nigerian Union of Local Govern­ment Employees (NULGE) says the Kwara State House of Assem­bly has been people's as­sembly whose focus is to enhance the well-being of the people of the state, through parliamentary democracy.

NULGE made this ob­servation in Ilorin, dur­ing a 'Thank You Visit' to the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Dr Ali Ahmad, in his office.

Leading the hierarchy of the union in the state on the visit, NULGE President in the state, Comrade Saliu Yusuf Ayinla, said the union has been following the activities of the 8th Leg­islature under the leader­ship of the Speaker since its inception two years ago, noting that the Par­liament has been people-focused.

Comrade Ayinla rep­resented by his Deputy, Comrade Oloruntade Ibikunle, who described the legislature as peoples' conscience, said the par­liament in the state had lived up the people's ex­pectations by perform­ing its functions in ac­cordance with the 1999 Constitution in spite of the fact that all the legis­lators, he said, belong to the ruling All Progres­sives Congress (APC).
