The Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Kamoru Ogunlana, has emphasized that embracing digital technology is a necessity for the Nigerian Parliament, rather than an option. He made this statement during a three-day retreat organized by the National Assembly in collaboration with the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), with support from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The retreat’s theme, “Building an Accountable, Transparent and Resilient Parliament; the role of the National Assembly Top Management,” resonated deeply with the challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving National Assembly Service landscape.
Ogunlana noted that the National Assembly Service is dynamic and continually faces new challenges while opening up fresh opportunities. The retreat aimed to address these challenges, explore new areas, and create innovative team-building plans to harness human assets. He stressed that embracing digital technology is crucial for the parliament’s efficiency and effectiveness.
