Indications have emerged that the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmed Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila may name three committees each today.
Punch quoted an unnamed ranking senator as saying that the lawmakers of both chambers would return home immediately after their plenary sessions because their offices were not ready.
“The leadership of the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party will send the names of their candidates to the presiding officers for announcement as principal officers any moment from now.
“The Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives are expected to constitute the Rules and Business committees, Interim Media Committees and House/Senate services committees.
“The House/Senate services committees, for instance, would see to the payment of the money the lawmakers would need to settle pressing needs especially, their accommodation.
“The lawmakers will also meet the House/Senate services committees to ensure that all the items needed are provided in the offices.”
Both Lawan AND Gbajabiamila were elected on Tuesday before the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly.
