 The Speaker of the House of Representatives Honourable Tajuddin Abbas has justified the increase in the number of the standing committees from the 109 inherited from the 9th Assembly to 137 in the 10th session of the Green Chamber. At an interactive session with journalists covering the Green Chamber in Abuja on Tuesday, the Speaker said the increase was to enhance the efficiency of the House and add value to the country. The 10th Assembly has brought on board the Revolutionary that will not only enhance our efficiency in the House, but will also give value and addition to the country. One of them is the creation of a standing committee to monitor the activities of all standing committees of the House. You will agree with me in the past, not all committees were active. You find some were active, some were not. Maybe because of one thing or the other, this time around we want to ensure that every standing committee leads to its responsibility. Earlier Chairman, House of Representatives Press Corp. Grace E.K. said the journalists accredited to the Green Chamber were committed to promoting good governance through objective and balanced reportage and called for openness and timely supply of information to journalists.
