The Enugu State House of Assembly has dissolved its Committee on Health over alleged gross misconduct and highhandedness.
Speaker Chief Uche Ugwu announced this on Tuesday during plenary in Enugu.
The affected members are Okechukwu Aneke (Udi South), Harrison Ogara (Igbo-Eze South), Osita Okoh (Enugu East Urban) and Anthony Nwankwo (Awgu South).
Ugwu said the move became necessary after the unruly behaviour of the committee chairman, Okechukwu Aneke, at the last executive session on September 21.
He also accused Aneke of highhandedness in the way he ran the committee.
The Speaker set up a five-man ad hoc disciplinary committee, led by Iloabuchi Aniagu, to look into the matter and report back to the House within 14 days.
The House also received a report on the annual accounts of Enugu State for the year ended December 31, 2025.
