The House of Representatives Special Ad hoc Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution has adopted the National Conference 2014 Report as part of its working documents.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by Wole Oladimeji, the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, Rep. Yussuf Lasun.
The statement said the decision was taken at a working retreat of the committee in Abuja.
It added that copies of the report had been circulated to members of the committee to go through and make recommendations.
“The consultants to the committee have been given the report to advise the committee on how to go about it,” it added.
The statement added that some of the salient proposals in the report would be turned into draft bills, which would be presented to the House for adoption and passage.
The committee is to commence work on the review of the document immediately the House resumes from its Sallah break.
