They also noted that Hon.Buba would draw from the rich experience he garnered from his previous position in the 8th Assembly when he turned what was merely a “Friendship Committee” to that of immense diplomatic and economic results for Nigeria. According to Dr Yusuf Balla of Albit Technology,an Agric Consulting firm in Hon.
