The Legislative Council, Nnamdi Azikwe Hall, in the legislative sitting held on February 3, 2024 has inaugurated two committees: the Audit committee and the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee.


According to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Igbaoreto Samuel, the Audit Committee has been established to audit the executive council's account, while the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee was established to check and proffer disciplinary measures of erring members. 


The audit committee basically looks at finances. They look at how money budgeted is being spent just make sure that the process is accountable and transparent [sic] ...And the ethics and disciplinary committee, they're the ones that will look at the excesses of any erring members of the house and also erring members of the executive council.

 

You would recall that some weeks back, the absence of the chief whip, Hon. Odunukan Damife, had led to the absence of the Mace, debarring the House from sitting. You would also recall that the clerk of the House, Hon. Owolabi Joshua was also absent in the same meeting, amidst other disciplinary offences levied against him. 


The Audit committee members include: 

Hon. Okechukwu Victor
