Senator Ekwunife & 65 Others Make Saraki;s c’ttees Chairmen


After several months of lobbying and horse-trading, the tension which before now gripped members of the upper legislative chamber, over who gets what in the committees to oversee various ministries, departments and agencies of government, seems to have been doused. 

This came as the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday named the chairmen and deputy chairmen of the 65 committees to oversee various ministries, departments and agencies of government.
While members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are to chair 41 committees, members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are to chair 24 committees.
