"I'm overjoyed to hear that the House of Representatives has passed two critical bills I sponsored for the establishment of the Federal College of Agriculture Agila, Benue State and University of Agriculture Ute-Ukpo, Delta State, respectivFede"

Accoding to him, the College of Agric Agila bill particularly holds a special place in his heart as it was a lifelong dream come true. 

"The College of Agric Agila bill holds a special place in my heart as it's a lifelong dream come true. As a son of Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, I've always envisioned an institution that would unlock the agricultural potential of our people. Today, we're one step closer to making that vision a reality!

Your enthusiasm has fuelled my passion to make a difference. Together, we'll continue to work towards empowering our communities and promoting sustainable development!"
