He charged the lawmakers to build the nation and bequeath to generations unborn a glorious future.
The President also used the occasion to announce that he would be sending the budget for 2024 to the National Assembly. It’s not clear if the President actually meant 2025 budget or was referring to a supplementary 2024 budget.
