Nigeria Senate will screen three
non-executive Commissioners and one Executive Commissioner for the Nigeria
Communications Commission, NCC, on Thursday.
The decision of the Senate
followed an executive communication by President Muhammadu Buhari, nominating
the affected persons, saying that their confirmation would strengthen the
activities of the Commission.
“That the Senate do consider the
request of Mr. President and Commander-Chief on the confirmation of the
nomination of the following persons as non-executive Commissioners of the
Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) in accordance with Sections 8(1) of the
Nigeria Communication Commission.”
Before adopting the letter by
President Buhari, Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Sabi Abdulahi moved that an ad-hoc
committee be set up to screen the nominees.
Responding, Senate President, Dr
Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan urged the nominees to appear before the Committee, while
asking the Committee to turn in their report as soon as possible.

1. Aliyu Saidu Abubakar,
Non-executive Commissioner (North East)
