Now that the legislative arm of the government is beginning activities, Nigerians are looking forward to seeing the dividends of democracy.
But many are aware much will not come except the arms of government work as they should.
Now, the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, is appealing to the legislative arm of the government for assistance and cooperation.
He believes it will help build a cordial working relationship with the administration.
The Governor made this appeal at a meeting with the Kano state House of Assembly members elected on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) on Tuesday.
