Sen. Danbaba reports Akume’s committee to Senate over non-performance

The senator representing Taraba North Senatorial district, Danbaba
Abdullahi has reported to the Senate that the Senate Committee on Army
headed by Senator George Akume, has been dormant.

Speaking on Order 14 and 15 of the Senate rules, he expressed
disappointment that as Vice Chairman of the Committee, he could not
recall when last they oversighted Nigerian Army projects.

He stated that they visited the Army sometime in 2016, adding that
since then, the Committee has not done anything, suggesting that
Senator George Akume was not in charge.

"Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, the Senate Committee on Army
which I am the Vice Chairman is completely detached from over sighting
the Army.

"We have never supervised military projects which are ongoing across
the nation. We don't know what is happening and it was only sometime
in 2016 that we visited one of their project sites."
