President Muhammadu Buhari has sought the approval of the Senate, seeking confirmation of 10 nominees of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
This was contained in a letter read on the floor of the upper legislative chamber at Wednesday plenary by Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The President said the correspondence was in line with Section 541 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The nominees are: Muhammed Isa (Chairman, Jigawa, North West), Murtala Kankia (member, Katsina North West), Emmanuel Attah (member, Cross River, South South), Danjuma Sado (member, Edo South South), Obolo Opanachi (member, Kogi North Central).
Others are: Ken Madaki Alkali (member, Nasarawa, North Central), S.F. Ogundare (member, Oyo, South West), Ganiyu Hamzat (member, Ogun South West), Sahad Abubakar (member, Gombe North East) and Vincent Nwanne (member, Ebonyi South East).
The Senate is yet to confirm executive nominees not contained in the constitution to fill vacant positions in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), National Pension Commission, pending when the President respects its decision on the rejection of Ibrahim Magu as chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, lawmakers are expected to confirm the CCB 10 nominees since they are contained in the constitution.
