The House Leader, Abubakar Olawoyin-Magaji in support of the review, said the review is attributed to the increase in the revenue shortfall induced by the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Mr. Olawoyin-Magaji said that the supplementary appropriation would affect the growth of critical sectors in the state, Speaker Yakubu Danladi however referred the bill to the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation for further legislative action. JAMB Result
