Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, the Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, has undertaken a reshuffle of the members within the standing committees of the House. This reshuffle comes as a result of the House of Representatives’ members being chosen by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to serve as Ministers. The Speaker addressed this matter in an official statement released on Thursday, highlighting that these appointments have led to vacancies in the leadership positions of certain standing committees within the House.
Following the nomination of some members of the 10th House of Representatives as Hon Ministers by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and void in the leadership of some standing committees of the House, it is my pleasure to announce the appointment of the following lawmakers to fill up the vacant positions:
- Hon. Mamudu Abdullahi – (APC, Niger) – Chairman, House Committee on Army
- Hon. Pascal Agbodike – (APGA, Anambra) – Chairman, House Committee on Hydrological Services

- Hon. Emmanuel Ukpong-Udo (YPP, Akwa Ibom) – Chairman, House Committee on Electronic and Digital Banking
