The House of Representatives has responded to public criticism regarding its ever-expanding number of standing committees, which has reached 134, even in the face of economic challenges affecting the country. Appointed by Speaker Rep.
Tajudeen Abbas in June, the 134 committees had been tasked with managing the affairs of the 10th House of Representatives. Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Rep. Akin Rotimi, has defended the house’s actions in a conversation with the House of Reps Press Corps in Abuja. Rotimi addressed concerns about potential duplication of functions among the committees, noting that the 10th assembly’s approach differed from previous ones.
However, in the 10th assembly under Abbas, the number of standing committees had surged to 134. Some Nigerians have voiced concerns over what they perceived as an excessive number of committees, contradicting President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to reducing the cost of governance, especially in light of rising fuel prices and the associated economic challenges.
