AbdulRahman appealed to his colleagues to suggest a specific amount in the budget to cater for bursary allowance to give indigenes of the state in Tertiary institutions a sense of belonging.

The Deputy Speaker who presided over Thursday's plenary of the House, Mathew Okedare supported the position of AbdulRahman and called for the appropriation of specific amount in 2017 budget for bursary award.

He noted that the bursary award to Students who are indigenes of the state would be of assistance to several indigents parents.

In his own contribution, the Chairman of the House Committee on information, Saheed Popoola called for declaration of state of emergency in Kwara Agric sector.

He noted that the fund earmarked for the development of Agriculture in the state was too inadequate to truly develop Agricultural activities in the state.

The Leader of the House, Hassan Oyeleke later moved a motion for the passage of the second reading of the 207 Kwara appropriation bill which was unanimously supported by all Members.

The Deputy Speaker, Mathew Okedare who presided directed the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation to further work on the budget and report to the House on 21st February, 2017.
