The President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has asked lawmakers around the world to come together and support peace, justice, and a better future for everyone.

His message was shared in a statement by his media aide, Jackson Udom.

Akpabio gave this speech while attending the 6th World Conference of Speakers of Parliaments, which is currently taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.

The theme of the event is “A World in Turmoil: Multilateralism for Peace, Justice and Prosperity for All.” Akpabio said that with so many problems facing the world today—from wars to climate change—nations must work together to find solutions.

He described Nigeria as a country that has gone through many struggles but keeps moving forward.

“I bring you greetings from the Nigerian Senate and our strong, resilient people,” he said. “Nigeria has faced tough times, yet we continue to push through challenges with hope and determination.”

Akpabio encouraged lawmakers around the world to work together and think beyond their own countries or political parties.

He pointed out that wars and crises are destroying families and communities, especially in poorer nations, and reminded such nations not to give up hope.

He said that all countries are connected, so the problems faced by one part of the world can affect everyone.

He added that despite facing insecurity and economic difficulties, the Nigerian Senate is still passing important laws.

Akpabio explained that Nigeria is dealing with terrorism, clashes between farmers and herders, and a rise in illegal weapons. But instead of giving up, the country is getting stronger and more determined.

He shared that new laws have been passed to improve national safety, provide better education, and include more people in decision-making. Some of these laws include the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons Act, the Terrorism Prevention Act, and the Out-of-School Children Education Act.

Akpabio also said that Nigeria is helping young people fight poverty through technology, loans, and training programs like the Start-Up Act and digital skill building.

He noted that women and people with disabilities are also being given better opportunities, mentioning the “Not Too Young To Run Act” as an example of Nigeria’s efforts to involve the younger generation.

He ended his speech by saying that international cooperation—also known as multilateralism—should lead to real action, not just words. He called on lawmakers to forget party politics and work for peace and fairness everywhere.
