The chairman of the meeting committee and representative member of Lafia Central, the Honourable Dahiru Abdullahi Angibi, who said this in a briefing to journalists in the Assembly, regretted that the House, through the ad hoc committee on COVID-19, had invited members of the Committee of the State Working Group on COVID-19 to still honor the Invitation Array they went to send to the Secretariat.

He added that the House would not hesitate to use its applicable legislation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do what was obligatory if the members of the State Working Group on COVID-19 did not respect their new invitation.
