He said Speaker Aminu Tambuwal had instructed all standing committees of the House to undertake a thorough appraisal of the status of the implementation of the 2012 Appropriation Act.

Ogene added that while on recess, members had interface with their constituents on the proposed constitution review process and the Petroleum Industry Bill as well as conducted oversight functions on the 2012 budget.

He explained that the development was in tandem with the unyielding desire of the seventh House of Representatives to ensure appropriate and timely implementation of the national budget.
