Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Yobe State House of Assembly has constituted an ad-hoc committee to investigate a series of complaints over alleged misconduct by healthcare practitioners across hospitals in the state.<\/p>\n

The committee is also mandated to determine whether there is a shortage of qualified medical doctors in some health facilities.<\/p>\n

The Speaker of the House, Rt Hon. Chiroma Buba Mashio, announced the formation of the committee during today\u2019s plenary following the House\u2019s resumption from its annual recess.<\/p>\n

According to the Speaker, the committee will be chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Ya\u2019u Usman Dachia, while Ahmed Musa Dumbol, Kachalla Ajiya Maina, Sanda Kara Bade, Saminu Musa Lawan, and Mohammed Ali will serve as members.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the significant achievements recorded in the health sector under the administration of Governor Mai Mala Buni, the complaints raised by members of the public require thorough investigation to ensure appropriate solutions are implemented,\u201d Mashio said.<\/p>\n

In another development, the House has given accelerated consideration to a bill seeking to establish the Yobe State Senior Secondary Education Board.<\/p>\n

The bill, which was presented by the executive arm of government, has passed its second reading on the floor of the House and has been referred to the House Standing Committee on Basic and Secondary Education for further legislative action.<\/p>\n

The House has also received two executive bills seeking the establishment of a State Waqf Board as well as an Urban and Regional Planning Authority.<\/p>\n
