He noted that since Lado assumed office, there have been no leaks of private communication between the Presidency and the Senate.


Akpabio emphasized the importance of maintaining confidentiality in governance, warning that leaks could compromise national security and decision-making.

"Your performance over the last eight months has been outstanding," Akpabio said. "You have strengthened the synergy between the Executive and the Legislature, making governance more effective."
