The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio at the weekend again acknowledged the current challenges in the country but assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu\u2019s government would leave behind a lasting legacy that will guarantee a better future.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the University of Calabar, UNICAL \u201987 Law Class Re-Union 2024 in Calabar, Akpabio said the current difficulties that Nigerians are going through were the results of past maladministration in the country.<\/p>\n

The Senate President,, a law graduate of the University of Calabar, said: \u201cThe difficulties we are witnessing in our nation today were not caused by the present administration. These are as a result of years of maladministration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny country that does not have backbone infrastructure, you don\u2019t have something to develop, you don\u2019t save for the raining day, when there is economic malaise such as we are witnessing in the world today, such country is bound to be affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is b under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have hope today, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The things that we are trying to do now, we are doing it for posterity. Not for ourselves. Be assured that this administration will leave behind lasting legacies that will guarantee a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, Akpabio led his old classmates to pay separate courtesy visits to the Governor of Cross River State, Prince Bassey Otu and the Vice Chancellor of UNICAL, Professor Florence Obi, who later narrated legion of challenges currently facing the institution, particularly in the the area of infrastructure.<\/p>\n

He told the university management that the \u201987 Law Class decided to congregate at the institution primarily to do an evaluation on the state of affairs of their alma mater and to see how best they could be of assistance to the institution that nurtured them.<\/p>\n

Akpabio announced, on behalf of the \u201987 Law Class, donation of two Coaster buses for the Faculty of Law and UNICAL Student Union Government (SUG).<\/p>\n

Otu, also a UNICAL graduate, assured the \u201987 Law Class that visited him that the government of Cross River State would partner with them on whatever they planned to do for the institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to look at what you will do and Cross River State will also partner with you and add to whatever you are going to do,\u201d Governor Otu said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the re-union, the Patron of the \u201987 Law Class, Justice Okon Abang of the Court of Appeal, observed that the journey of his former classmates to the level they are now had not been without challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I reflect on the accomplishment of this class, I am overwhelmed by how much we have collectively contributed to the legal profession and to the progress of our great nation and the entire commonwealth of nations,\u201d Justice Abang said.<\/p>\n
