The committee, announced in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday in Jalingo, the state capital, by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Yusuf Sanda, has the former Head of Service of the Federation, Barrister Danladi Irimiya Kifasi, as its chairman.

Other members of the committee include Elder Simon Angyu, Hajiya Zuwaira Kishimi, Dr Ochi Chinoyerem Achiniva, Mr Akinlose Sylvester Arikawe, Ambassador Musa John, Dr Umar Dorofi, and Dr Rasheed Olawale Azeez.
