Speaker Tajudeen Abbas said on Tuesday the list of chairmen and members of the House Standing committees will be announced on Thursday.
The Speaker spoke while receiving the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Annett Günther in his office, appealing to the German government to assist in advancing and sustaining democracy in the country.
Abbas also called for more collaborations and engagements between the Nigerian National Assembly and the German Parliament also known as The Bundestag.
He disclosed the House plans to create about 40 friendship committees to Interface with parliaments in other parts of the world as part of efforts at deepening relationships with such countries.
The Speaker said: “I want to appreciate the long-standing and historical relationship between Nigeria and Germany, which spans more than 60 years. To the best of my knowledge, it has been a mutually beneficial relationship.
“Both the German and Nigerian governments have benefitted immensely from the relationship. I am proud to say that in Africa today, we are one of the major partners of Germany in diplomatic relationships.
“We believe this can be further exploited in the future, and there are so many other areas that we can look into, to deepen our relationship with you. In due course, we will highlight some of those areas of economic advantage to both Germany and Nigeria.
We want to see more and increased collaboration in the area of cultural ties between Germany and Nigeria. I know we are doing fairly well in that respect, but there are so many areas that we are yet to touch.
