Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and other Financial Institutions, has been honored with the “Responsive Representation for Good Governance Award” by the Senate Press Corps (SPC). This prestigious award recognizes Senator Abiru’s outstanding contributions to good governance and responsive representation of the people of Lagos East Senatorial District ¹.
According to Mr. Taiye Odewale, Chairman of the SPC, Senator Abiru’s legislative inputs in the Senate have contributed significantly to good governance-driven legislations at the federal level.
