“So this committee is supposed to dig deep and unravel the issues surrounding all these allegations and provide recommendations based on your findings,” he said.

The chairman of the committee, Prof Ndubueze Mbah, while speaking on behalf of the committee, thanked the governor for finding them worthy of the assignment.
