Those bills I presented will improve the educational background and Health Care of my constituents, health they say is wealth. Education does not only stop in my constituency alone it should be extended to the nooks and crannies of Plateau state and indeed, the country as a whole.

So I appeal to my colleagues members of the House of Representatives to support the bills so that at the end of the day, they will pass through second reading and public hearing and finally will pass into law.”
