“We are optimistic of an increase in the rate of our fulfillments before the fiscal year runs out,” Mr Buni said.

The governor commended the assembly for a harmonious working relationship with the executive arm of government.

The Speaker, Buba Mashio, assured the governor that the budget would be given accelerated passage.
