A member of the House of Representatives, Femi Ogunbanwo, representing Ogun State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress said lawmakers were aware of the impacts of the adverse economic situation in the country.

He noted that it would be addressed through policy formulation.

Mr Ogunbanwo said this during an interview in Abuja on Thursday.

He said members of the 10th House of Representatives would not rest on their laurels until the challenges of the current economic situation were frontally addressed.

According to him, the lawmakers will continue to address the impacts of the present adverse economic situation as they are aware of the poverty in the land.

He said, “We know that poverty is not good. We must continue to formulate policies to reduce poverty and get our people secured.”

He urged everyone, notwithstanding their political divide, to come on board and collaborate with them entrusted with the people’s mandates.

This, according to him, is to formulate and execute policies of immense benefit to their constituencies.

He appealed for continued support of his Ijebu Ode/Odogbolu/Ijebu North East Federal Constituency of Ogun State to ensure impactful representation.

He promised to restore people’s confidence by making life more abundant for his constituency, adding that all efforts to ensure credible representation would be ensured.

He also called for a collaborative effort on the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu
