Speaker Abbas appoints Ugochinyere deputy chairman special adhoc c’ttee on media

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, has appointed Hon. Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere (Ikenga Imo) as Deputy Chairman of the Special Committee on Media and Public Affairs of the House.

Abbas, who announced the composition of some Special Committees of the House at plenary on Thursday, said they were to help oversee the affairs of the House pending their resumption on July 4, 2023 and when the standing Committees of the House will be constituted.

The special committees include Selection; Media and Public Affairs; Welfare; Ethics; Legislative Agenda, and Internal Security.

According to the Speaker, the Deputy Chairman of the special committee on Media and Public Affairs will be the member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Hon. Ugochinyere.

Ugochinyere was before his election into the National Assembly the spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

As a first-timer, he was among the few lawmakers, who from the onset believed in the emergence of Abbas and Benjamin Kalu as Speaker, Deputy Speaker of the 10th House respectively.

Despite being a member of the opposition PDP, he understood the importance of electing competent people to preside over the affairs of the parliament. Hence, he became the Communication Adviser of the Tajudeen Benjamin Kalu (TBK) Group, and campaigned strongly for them to win.

Ugochinyere is known to be confident and has never shied away from the media.
