The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki on Monday, presented an
ostrich egg with the map of Africa painted on it to the President of
Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo in Accra, Ghana.
Saraki, who is in Ghana for the 25th anniversary of the Ghanaian
Parliament presented the painted and lacquered egg, which was made in
Bauchi State, Nigeria.
The presentation of the egg was the highlight of the meeting
between the President of the Nigerian Senate and the President of Ghana
on the sidelines of the anniversary celebration.
Speaking at the meeting with Ghanaian President, Saraki reviewed
the history of Nigeria-Ghana diplomatic relationship, submitting that it
had improved democracy and good governance for the people of both
countries.
Saraki appreciated the relationship of the countries, pointing out
that the invitation of President Muhammadu Buhari and himself to witness
the celebration of Ghana’s 25 years of parliamentary democracy was a
sign of the growing good relationship between the two nations.
According to him, Nigeria’s Senate and the National Assembly, in
general, was committed to improving the quality of governance in favour
of the people, a resolve which he said had resulted in the enactment of
several laws and passage of important resolutions.
In his remark, Ghana’s President, Akufo Addo, noted that because of
the key roles played by parliaments in good governance, the two
countries were paying much attention to boosting parliamentary
relationship.
Akufo Addo said, “Parliaments in both countries had become very
robust and rich in the quality of legislation, it was in the best
interest of the people that support must be accorded the legislature to
continue its work.
“The collaboration between Nigeria and Ghana in good governance
and democracy has been of great benefits to Africa and its people.”
