Gbajabiamila inaugurates 3 adhoc committees for take off of proceedings

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila,
on Monday in Abuja, inaugurated three committees entrusted with the
responsibility of ensuring the smooth take-off of proceedings in
the House.

The committees, constituted on June 13, are the Selection
Committee headed by the Speaker, and adhoc committees on Welfare
and Media chaired by Wale Raji (APC-Lagos) and Khadijat
Abbah-Ibrahim (APC-Yobe), respectively.

The welfare committee is expected to allocate offices and make
sitting arraignments for members while the ad hoc committee on
media will interface with the public on behalf of the house.

The selection committee will decide on selections of members and
chairmen of standing committees of the house.

Gbajabiamila said that though the tasks were enormous, the
committees were expected to discharge their duties within the next
seven days.

The speaker said that he and the Deputy Speaker, Idris Wase
would go round to inspect the work done three days to the
resumption of the House on July 2.

Responding, Rep. Henry Archibong (PDP-Akwa Ibom), a member of
the welfare committee, promised that they would deliver on the
mandate given to them.

Archibong thanked the speaker for hitting the ground running
after his election and entrusting the members with the
responsibilities.

He disclosed that the members were happy that Gbajabiamila
emerged as the speaker and were ready to work with him for the
progress of the assembly and the entire country.
