Members of the House Conference Committee are Babangida Ibrahim (Chairman) Hon Tijani Kayode Ismail, Hon Chinedu Ogah, Hon Ibrahim Umar Potiskum, Hon Abdulmumini Are and Hon Legor Idegbo as members.
The Senate followed with the setting up of its own Committee comprising Senator Kashim Shettima, Chairman while Senator Abba Moro, Senator Betty Apiafi, Senator Oriolowo Adelere, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe and Senator Seriake Dickson are members.
The Conference Committee members are expected to look at discrepancies and harmonize them before forwarding the clean copy to the Presidency.
