Hon.

He urged his colleagues in the Assembly to prioritize legislation that would stimulate economic activity and create jobs, particularly in the current economic situation. “Now more than ever, we must focus on economic recovery. By supporting commerce and industry through effective legislation, we can build a resilient economy that benefits all,” Tobun asserted.
Drawing parallels to the values celebrated during Eid-il-Kabir, Hon. Tobun reminded constituents of the importance of sacrifice, cooperation, and communal effort. “Eid-il-Kabir teaches us the value of sacrifice for the greater good. Similarly, our legislative agenda should reflect a commitment to the greater good of our state and nation,” he added.
Hon. Tobun concluded his message by encouraging all stakeholders to rally behind these legislative priorities. “Let us work together, guided by the principles of our faith and the needs of our people, to craft policies that will lead us to greater heights. This Eid-il-Kabir, let us renew our commitment to progress, unity, and shared prosperity,” he said.
As the Eid-il-Kabir festivities continue, Hon. Abodun Tobun’s message resonates with a vision of a prosperous and united community, driven by strategic legislative efforts in commerce and industry, in alignment with the timeless teachings of the Holy Quran.
