“Those are the things we intend to go and pursue in this 10th Senate.

“Apart from that, we also plan to get feedback from the people as the basis of what we are going to do during Senate sittings.

“Constant feedback from the people should determine bills to be presented.

“We should make laws and interventions that will uplift the masses.

“All our actions should centre on the people.

“We have to provide a robust oversight function over the executive as assigned to us by the Constitution,” Salisu said.

The government, he said, needs to assuage the youth’s anger with good policies.

“The government should be able to address the challenges of Nigerian youths holistically.

“They’ve become desperate and we don’t need to make them flip over.

“When they flip over, it will be difficult to manage.
