Others are 50 car wash machines, 100 paste machines and 50 industrial sewing machines.

He assured his people of his constituents that they would continue to receive the dividends of democracy during his tenure.

Speaking at the occasion, the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila described Muhammad as a worthy representative of his people.

“I had been in the chamber for about 20 years, perhaps this is one of the best crops of representatives Katsina has produced,’’ Gbajabiamila said.

Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State also commended the lawmaker’s effort.
