CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Mc Kenna and Fleming (1977) defined
committee as “A group of individuals which is formed to consider and
report on various matter which have been referred to themâ€. At the out
set it will be necessary to explain in a compendium the two major terms
of the topic for better understanding. A committee can be for important
issue is that it is responsible to the body, which forms it, and infact
reports to at the end of its assignment.
While there is a specific
connotation on the formation of committee towards the performances of an
identified and specific task a meeting according to shaw et al (1965)
is “An assembly of person such assembly may arise in circumstance
infinitely diverse in their character and combination.From this
definition, a group meeting is just a meeting of a group of people with
common objective and interest; it may be a committee,The primary
pre-occupation of the house of assembly anywhere is the holding of group
meetings because it is only through such meeting that decisions can be
reached on its varied functions.
Since the legislative time is
limited matters to be deal with most of the time either technical or
highly specialized, the need therefore arises to form committees to
solve problems. This is exactly the case in the Anambra State House of
Assembly Awka. while a body containing many members is suitable for
discussing principles, it is in appropriate for the examination of
details. The usual course is to form a committee of a few members in the
House, which can discuss details of the proposals and report back to
the full body of the house with recommendation.
