A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Sunday Katung (PDP-Zangon Kataf/Jaba), has blamed the rivalry between the Executive arm of government and the National Assembly for the slow pace of development in the country.
Katung made this known on Wednesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at Zonkwa, Kaduna State.
The lawmaker attributed the rivalry between the two arms of government to “selfish interests” which he said deprive the larger society the opportunity to reap dividends of democracy.
He expressed regret that the two arms of government were not paying enough attention to germane issues bordering on the collective interests of Nigerians, but more with matters that only benefit them.
Katung called on stakeholders to come together to tackle national challenges, including the security situation in the country in the overall interest of the Nigerian people yearning for progress.
The lawmaker said his priorities for the constituency include: skills acquisition for the teeming unemployed youth, computer literacy, sports development among others.
