There was mild drama on Thursday January 19 at the Kogi State House of Assembly when the Chairman of the Staff Screening and Verification Committee, Alhaji Yakubu Okala failed to send the screening report to the House of Assembly as requested on Tuesday, but sent a letter to the House, notifying them that he has submitted the report to the Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Our Kogi State Correspondent reports that the letter was read by the Majority Leader, Mathew Kolawole.
According to Alhaji Yakubu Okala, the Committee had already been disbanded, since the report has been submitted to the governor and any further request by the lawmakers should be directed to Governor Yahaya Bello.
Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Umar Imam who was obviously not satisfied with the content of the letter, directed the Joint Committee on Pension, Judiciary and Local Government to forward an invite to the Chairman of Staff Screening and Verification Committee, Alhaji Yakubu Okala to forward the final report to the Assembly latest Monday January 23.
It will be recalled that the House on Tuesday 17th January, directed the committee to submit its report to the 6th Assembly within 24 hours following a motion of urgent public importance moved by the member representing Igalamela Odolu constituency, Honorable Friday Sanni.
