However, at the commencement of the session, the chairman of the Committee on Ethics and Privileges, Ossai Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta) read a letter from Onyeama.

He said the minister was currently attending an African Union Summit in Kigali, Rwanda and would not be back until July 19. The minister said in the letter that he would be available any date thereafter.
