The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday, issued a stern warning to underperforming committee chairmen, threatening to replace them if they fail to meet the Senate’s expectations.
Akpabio expressed frustration over the continued disregard by heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies for invitations from the National Assembly.
Speaking during Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio responded to concerns raised by Bauchi Central Senator Abdul Ningi, who lamented that the Senate Committee on Finance had not conducted oversight on 92 revenue-generating agencies.
Akpabio emphasised that the Senate leadership would not hesitate to reshuffle committees to ensure competent individuals take charge
