The House of Representatives has lifted the suspension placed on the former Chairman of its Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin.
This followed a letter of apology sent to the House by Jibrin, which was presented by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, at plenary on Tuesday.
The lawmaker was suspended in 2017 for 180 legislative days for allegedly exposing “budget padding” scandal in the legislative arm of government.
Presenting the letter, Dogara said that the suspended legislator had met all the conditions necessary for him to resume his duties.
He therefore said that Jibrin was free to resume his legislative duties whenever he wished.
