The Ekiti State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, set up an Ad-hoc Committee to investigate the passage of a N10 billion supplementary budget by some members of the House during the twilight of the administration of the immediate past government of Chief Ayodele Fayose.

The lawmakers reached the resolution on the investigation during their plenary session, on Tuesday.

Also, the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeniran Alagbada and other members of the House have applauded Governor Kayode Fayemi for cancelling the education tax imposed on pupils by the immediate past administration of Chief Ayodele Fayose.

Alagbada gave the commendation while contributing to the debate on the effect of the cancellation at the House plenary in Ado-Ekiti.
