Akpabio addresses Ivorien parliament, harps on collaboration, African unity

The President of Nigeria’s Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Monday addressed the National Assembly of Côte d’Ivoire, emphasising the importance of parliamentary collaboration and unity among African nations.

Speaking at the opening session of the 2025 First Ordinary Session of the National Assembly of Côte d’Ivoire in Abidjan, Akpabio also called for stronger bilateral ties between Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire.

Akpabio, whose address was titled “Strengthening Ties, Building the Future Together,” told the Ivorian lawmakers that Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria are not merely neighbours but partners in the grand endeavour of African progress.

“The future of West Africa rests upon us. Therefore, let us not be complacent. The challenges before us are vast – youth unemployment, human trafficking, and security threats.

“Yet so too are the opportunities. Parliamentary cooperation should lead the way to deeper executive collaboration and unity.

“We must set the tone for African parliamentary engagements and cooperation. The colonialists may have cut Africa into geopolitical chunks, but we must unite, stitch the torn fabrics of our heritage, and teach the world that blood is still thicker than water
