Magaji also reiterated the House’s commitment to a harmonious relationship with the executive arm of the government of the state.

The Deputy Speaker assured that the expectations of electorates will be met by the present administration. He restated that citizens welfare had already been prioritised in this year’s budget, urging more supports and prayers for the State Governor.
