The Federal Government has called for deeper collaboration with the United States in the area of capacity building for legislators.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio made the call while addressing a delegation from the American embassy in Nigeria, led by the chargé d’affaires, David Greene.
Akpabio noted the role of the United State in entrenching democracy and democratic values across the world, acknowledging that this task sometimes requires Americans to pay the ultimate price.
He urged the American government not to relent on its role as big brother because the world needs a guiding hand from its oldest democracy.
Speaking, Mr. Greene said his team is seeking collaborative efforts with the Nigerian Senate on multiple fronts.
The visit ended with the exchange of souvenirs by the host and the visitors.
