Moving the motion, Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala Na’Allah, said: “The Senate do concur with the House of Representatives resolution passed on Thursday, 22nd September, 2016 to invite the President to address a joint session of the National Assembly to intimate it on plans to get the country out of recession to enable the House (Senate and House of Representatives) take further legislative action.”

Prior to the adoption of the motion, the Senate had passed 21 resolutions, primarily on how to get the country out of recession. The resolutions have been forwarded to President Buhari for onward implementation.
