\u201cThe Institute\u2019s impressive facilities, vision and focus, make it a very significant potential contributor to Nigerian democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this infrastructure, Nigerians no longer need to travel overseas for legislative training. This is our own Cambridge and Harvard\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Akpabio was accompanied on the visit by the leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, Senate Minority Whip, Senator Osita Ngwu, Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong and Senator Adetokunbo Abiru.<\/p>\n
