The Nigerian Senate has confirmed the nomination of Benedict Umeano (Anambra – South East), Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma (Edo – South South) and Olayinka Babatunde Balogun (Ogun – South West) as members of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The nominees were confirmed after lawmakers considered and adopted the report of the Senate on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions presented by the chairperson, Ayo Akinyelure.

In his presentation, the lawmaker said the nominees possessed the experience and the right requirements to operate in the appointed capacity.

He urged the Senate to therefore confirm them.

Similarly, President Muhammadu Buhari wrote to the Senate seeking the confirmation of nominees to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission Tribunal to its Committee on Trade and Investment.

The nominees are Sadatu Mama Shafi as Chairperson (North Central), George Chukwuma Mbonu (South East) and Thomas E. Okosun (South South)as members.

Other members are Umar Dauda Duhu (North East); Ibrahim El-Yakubu (North West); Sola Salako Ajulo (South West); and Kenneth Tersoo Gyado (North Central).

The president also sought the confirmation of the appointment of Chairperson and Members of the Governing Council of Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPADEC), and National Commission for Persons with Disabilities.

The request, he said, was pursuant to Section 3(2) of the Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission Act and Section 32(2) of the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2019 respectively.
