Following the dissolution of the House Standing Committees of the Adamawa state House of Assembly, the speaker of the House has constituted Adhoc Committee to revisit bills that are pending at various stages for possible passage.
To achieve this, the house under the leadership of Rt. Hon. AminuI ya Abbas had on Wednesday set up the Committee with a mandate to look at all the bills floated by the members that could not see the light of the day.
The committee headed by the member representing Nassarawo Binyeri constituency, Hon. Umar Nashon Gubi will look at the outstanding bills taking into cognisance its merits and demerits and recommends steps to be adopted by the Honourable members to that effect.
