Moving the motion for the approval of the governor’s request, the Majority Leader, Roland Osoro, member representing Orihonmwon South, said the loan would enable the governor execute the state transport master plan.

The house unanimously adopted the resolution.
The speaker, Adjoto Kabiru directed that clean copies of the house resolution be sent to the governor for immediate action.
