The Speaker of the Taraba State House of Assembly, Kizito Bonzena, on Wednesday, said no fewer than 40 bills were passed in the last four years to facilitate good governance and development in the state.
Speaking during the valedictory session to end the 9th Assembly of the house in the Jalingo area of the state, Bonzena explained that the bills were processed in the best interest of Taraba residents.

He thanked members for their cooperation, noting that both members understood they were in the house for the common interest of developing the state.
Bonzena said, “I want to announce here that during the over 700 sittings of the Taraba State 9th Assembly, we processed 40 bills that are for the interest and good governance of the state.
