<p>&#8221; It is against this background that members of the Senate Press Corps, comprising all representatives of media outfits in Nigeria and beyond, deem it fit to bestow the Highest Development Driven Bills Sponsorship Award on him,&#8221; he said while presenting the award to Senator Barau.</p>
<p>Barau, in response to the honour, said it would make him do more.</p>
<p>&#8221; Your recognition of my legislative inputs in the Senate within the last 18 months, particularly on a series of development-driven bills sponsored so far, will energise and propel me further to do more.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once you are given an award, it tells you to do more. To whom much is given, much is expected. This, to me, is also considered your contribution to ensuring the legislature remains vibrant</p>
<p>&#8221; Once you identify those who are doing well and honour them through awards of this nature, that will create some kind of competition and propel others to do more so that they can be recognized at some other time in the future,&#8221; he said</p>
