A one-day retreat for chairpersons and deputy chairpersons of House of Representatives Committees is billed to be held in Abuja on Monday.
Centred on the 10th House of Representatives legislative agenda, the retreat is expected to dwell on the theme, ‘Improving Legislative Performance through Effective Committee Management.’
House spokesman, Akin Rotimi, in a statement on Sunday, said the lawmakers would be taken through international good practice in committee management, benchmarks in conducting legislative hearings and investigations as well as an overview of legislative practice and procedures, among others.
Rotimi said, “This is beyond just having an activity or a talk shop. As clearly stated in our agenda, for the Green Chamber to creditably discharge its functions, institutional and human resource capacity must be significantly upscaled and strengthened.”
