The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has disclosed that several ad-hoc and standing committees set up by the House to carry out various tasks that had failed to present their reports within the stipulated time frame would be disbanded on Thursday.
Gbajabiamila who made the disclosure at plenary yesterday, directed the Chairman Committee on Rules and Business, Hon. Hassan Fulata to get the list of the affected Committees ready by Thursday.
The Speaker hinged his decision to discharge the non-performing Committees on the fact that the election primaries were around the corner and lawmakers hoping to be reelected would be busy. He said if this was not done, they might not be able to round up their legislative duties before 2023 general election.
