The House of Representatives, on Thursday, established a 23-man committee to study the proposed restructuring of Federal Government agencies in line with the Stephen Oronsaye report.

Speaker Abbas Tajudeen while inaugurating the committee, charged it to examine the recommendations of the executive arm of government and advise the House accordingly.
