| Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara |
22 former members of the House of Representatives are presenting themselves for jobs to serve as aides to the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, and
the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Yusuf Lasun,
Investigations showed that at least six of the ex-lawmakers had been handed letters of engagement to serve as special advisers to Dogara and Lasun
The majority of the job seekers were part of the 2011-2015 batch, members whose tenure at the National Assembly rounded off on June 5.
A member of the House disclosed to LifeWatch on Tuesday that some of the ex-members were “very supportive” in the run up to the election of the presiding officers of the House on June 9.
“The jostling for jobs here started long before now. Some of them worked in the speaker’s team before the election.
“This is like compensating them for the roles they played, but there are others who truly requested to serve as aides to Dogara and his deputy.
“Only a few have been confirmed really; there is no possibility that everyone will be on board. Many are still on the waiting list,” the official added.
