This request was officially communicated through a press release issued by the Press Secretary of the Speaker, Malam Bello Madaro Kurya.
The request was made by Honourable Nasiru Abdullahi Maru, the Member representing Maru North, and Deputy Speaker Honourable Adamu Aliyu Gummi during a plenary session in the State Assembly Chamber.
