Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the
house of representatives, has constituted four sub-committees in the
legislative chamber.
Gbajabiamila constituted the
committees on Thursday after the first session of the newly inaugurated house,
before adjourning plenary till July 2.
The committees including welfare,
selection, media and publicity as well as rules and business are to commence
work immediately pending the formation of all the relevant committees.
Addressing journalists, Khadija
Ibrahim, chairman of the sub-committee on media and publicity, said
Gbajabiamila has also resolved to visit select constituencies that have been in
the news recently.
She said: “The traditional
victory party done after the emergence of speaker has been cancelled due to the
fact that we have a lot of work to do. In the two weeks recess, we are going to
work, we are not going on holiday. New members will settle down and get to work
“Mr. Speaker has emphasised he is
going to visit some constituency offices and have a feel of what is happening
in them especially those making the headlines. So he wants to go and know what
is happening in those constituencies.”
The former minister of state for
foreign affairs added that the green chamber will work in unity and devoid of
party affiliations.
“We remain as one house
regardless of party affiliations. There is not going to be any prejudices or
leaning towards one party,” she said.
“We stand united. In one Nigeria
we believe, in one Nigeria we stand and will work harmoniously with the
executive. The three arms of government needs to work hand in hand to make
progress in this country.”
