The Nigerian House of Representatives carries out a reshuffle of several standing committee chairs following changes in the leadership of the House minority caucus. Speaker Abbas Tajudeen announces the development during an emergency plenary session on Monday. He says the committee shake-up becomes necessary because some lawmakers take on new responsibilities within the minority leadership, which leaves certain committee positions vacant. The reported changes are framed as a reorganisation to fill those vacancies and reflect the updated minority leadership structure. Both outlets report that the Speaker presents the announcement from the chamber and links the reshuffle directly to the recent minority caucus leadership adjustments. While the sources confirm the reason for the reshuffle, they do not provide full details in the excerpts shared here on the specific committees affected or the names of the new chairpersons.
