THERE were indications yesterday that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara may today , announce the appointment of chairmen and their deputies for the over 90 standing committees of the House .
It was learnt that the Selection Committee, headed by the Speaker with all principal officers as members and representatives of the 36 states including the Federal Capital Territory(FCT) has concluded its assignment with a final meeting to put finishing touches on the names , held last week.

The selection panel was inaugurated on August 11, 2015 . Chairman of the House ad hoc committee on Media and Public Affairs, Sani Zorro told journalists that the committee continued work , even during the yearly recess.

Delay in the constitution of the various committees had been attributed to several factors, including: paucity of funds, the absence of heads of ministries and the protracted crisis which engulfed the lower chamber shortly after inauguration over the choice of principal officers.
