The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to release the ten billion naira voted in the 2019 Appropriation Act for the reintegration of people and communities affected by banditry in Zamfara State.
The House made the call at the plenary after adopting a motion moved by Bello Shinkafi based on the visit by a delegation led by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila to the affected areas.
Adopting the motion, the lawmakers resolved to commend the Speaker for his leadership initiative and expression of love for the people of Zamfara, as exhibited during his visit to assess the situation and influence fruitful peace process.
