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