The Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has said that the Green Chamber would soon amend its rules to allow Nigerians send their petitions via e-platform in order to eliminate bottlenecks and simplify the legislative dispute resolution mechanism of the House.
Speaking during the commissioning of the digitalized Hearing Room of the House Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the unveiling of PAC News magazine, Speaker Abbas noted the importance of ICT in the operations of the House as encapsulated in its Legislative Agenda.
The Speaker also commended the Hon. Bamidele Salam-led Public Accounts Committee for the innovations, which he said would go a long way in enhancing the activities of the committee.
Hon. Speaker therefore, disclosed that the innovation being implemented by PAC would be replicated in the House Committee on Public Petitions, with an amendment to the House Standing Orders with view to giving more and easier access to the public to engage with the legislature with their complaints.
