Hey there, middle schoolers! Today, we’re going to talk about something important happening in the Delta State House of Assembly (DSHA). The Speaker of the House, Hon Dennis Guwor, recently gave a speech to the lawmakers, urging them to be honest and responsible leaders for the state.
So, what did the Speaker say? Well, he started by mentioning a retreat that the lawmakers were attending. This retreat is a special training program for the members of the House. It helps them learn how to be better leaders and make good decisions for the people they represent.
The Speaker explained that as representatives of the people, the lawmakers have an important role to play in the government. They help make laws and decide how the state’s resources should be used. So, it’s crucial for them to act with integrity and always do what’s best for the people.
He also mentioned that the retreat would teach the lawmakers how to handle complex issues and do their jobs effectively. Being a legislator is not just about having common sense, but also about learning the rules and strategies for meaningful debates and oversight functions.
The Acting Clerk of the House, Oto Aghoghopia, also spoke at the event. He welcomed the Speaker and the lawmakers and mentioned that the training they had before the retreat was very helpful. The House’s management took note of the suggestions made during the training and passed them on to the House’s leadership.
Aghoghopia expressed hope that the ongoing retreat would address important areas of legislative practice and procedures. This means that the lawmakers will learn even more about how to be effective leaders for the state.
So, why is this important for us to know? Well, it’s crucial for our leaders to be honest and responsible. They have the power to make decisions that affect all of us, so we want them to make the best choices for our well-being. By attending this retreat and learning how to be better leaders, the lawmakers are showing their commitment to serving the people of Delta State.
Let’s hope that they take the lessons from this retreat to heart and continue to lead with integrity. After all, we deserve leaders who always put the needs of the people first!
