In an interview with journalists after passing the bills, the Speaker, Mr. Chikwendu Kalu, explained that one of the agenda of the present administration in the state was to strengthen trade and commerce through the creation of enabling environment.

Mr. Kalu noted that the House of Assembly would continue to establish platform that would enable government to implement most of its policies and programmes geared towards the development of the state.
