The motion was seconded by Hon. Hollick from the English department.

Hon. Larexy from the history department made an observation that since the house had low attendance, they should suspend the nomination of the committee, however, other honourables like Hon. D Gof(Dramatics Art) and Hon. Taofeek(English department) were against Hon. Larexy and insisted that the house should move on with the nomination of the standing committees.

The Speaker Rt. Hon Zachman from English department suggested while the house proceeded to nominate the Audit Committee that 3 members of Audit Committee should be nominated at the sitting while the rest should be nominated in the subsequent sitting. However, Hon. Larexy was in opposition to the suggestion because the constitution categorically stated that every honourable that does not resume after a recess would be mark absent.
