The president previously appointed Delu Bulus Yakubu in September and was confirmed by the Senate. But, in the letter, the president confirmed that Yakubu’s recent appointment as senior special assistant on humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation created a vacancy in the agency.
The president urged the Senate to confirm the appointments expeditiously.
