Conference begins committee work Tuesday

The plenary session of the on-going National Conference yesterday drew to a temporary close as delegates prepare to move into committee sessions when they return from the Easter break next week Tuesday.
The list of 20 Standing Committees and their chairmen, co-chairmen and deputy chairmen was announced on Tuesday and made available to all the delegates.

It is expected that on their return from the Easter holidays starting on Friday and ending on Monday next week, delegates will move straight into committee sessions to deliberate on crucial issues aimed at redressing certain imbalances in the Nigerian polity.

Chairman of the Conference and retired Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi, informed the delegates that two venues, the National Judicial Institute and 10 meeting rooms at Sheraton Hotels and Towers will be used as meeting venues by the committees.
Of the 20 Standing Committees approved by the Conference to discuss various issues, five are headed by two co-chairmen while the remaining fifteen are headed by a chairman each and a deputy chairman.
