Kalu submitted that President Tinubu is already taking significant steps towards repositioning the country’s economy and restoring Nigeria back to its glory days.

“The President is getting the job done. He is not just a coach but also a player in the ring to get the job done. We are impressed with what he is doing so far but it will not stop the parliament from scrutinizing the works of the executive to avoid anyone around the MDAs from sabotaging his effort for national development. So, over-sighting them is critical and we will do that. Generally, he has started well…READFULL
