Members of the house of representatives are reportedly getting set for a fresh showdown with Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
Members of the House of Representatives are poised for a showdown with the leadership of the Green Chamber over who gets what in the composition of the House Standing Committees.
This is even as the speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, was said to be in a fix on how to please various interests cutting across party lines in the Lower House regarding the membership and chairmanship of the yet-to-be-named committees.
Standing Committees of either the Senate or House of Representatives in the National Assembly have oversight functions to monitor government or private agencies, programmes, and activities within their jurisdictions, and in some cases in areas that cut across committee jurisdictions.
The intrigues surrounding the composition of the Standing Committees started with the secret inauguration of a Selection Committee saddled with that responsibility under the chairmanship of Speaker Dogara on Tuesday, August 11, 2015.
Journalists earlier invited to the event by the speaker’s media team, were asked to leave on a second thought immediately after Dogara’s arrival for the inauguration function.
