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.

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.
