Benue born Legislative Expert, Mr. Rawlins Emmanuel Agada, has been appointed Clerk of the Senate...

Mr. Agada, a native of Ipari Otukpa, in Ai-Oodo, Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State, has served in various capacities, since joining the service of National Assembly, including representing Nigeria in the Permanent Secretariat Desk of the Pan African Parliament, South Africa; and was also prominent in the Legislative Business of both the regional Parliament and Interparliamentary Union, Geneva, Switzerland. 

Mr. Agada was also President, Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, PASAN, National Assembly.

In May 2019, he was appointed the Director, Information and Research, National Assembly, who saw to the digitization of proceedings in the Chambers; recalibration of the accreditation process for National Assembly Correspondents; inauguration of National Assembly New Media; amongst others. 

On the 26th June, 2023, exactly 2 years ago, Mr. Agada was appointed Deputy Clerk (Admin) of the House of Representatives, and few months later, his service became sort-after in the Red Chamber, and he was redeployed as Deputy Clerk (Admin) of the Nigerian Senate, the position he held until his recent elevation as Deputy Clerk (Legislative) of the Senate. 

And yesterday, the National Assembly Service Commission graciously, though meritoriously, appointed the Legislative Juggernaut, an astute Legislative technocrat and Profesional to the core, Mr. Rawlins Agada as the Clerk of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to continue to provide cognitive expertise and guidance to the Red Chamber, and by extension, the National Assembly.

This means alot to us, as a people disadvantaged by geography and demography in our current setting in the national and Subnational arrangements. We celebrate this feat that has never been attained by any of us in the past. 

This, to us, is the peak!

But we pray for more heights and opportunities for this great son of the soil, an enigmatic perfect gentleman, quintessential, in all ramifications. We salute his Legislative acumen and value addition to the 10th National Assembly of Nigeria.
