The Nigerian Senate has confirmed four Commissioners for the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), during the plenary session today, Thursday, July 18, 2019.
President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier written to the senate requesting it to confirm the nominees.
The President’s request was contained in three letters read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan on the floor of the upper legislative chamber last Tuesday.
Buhari based his request on section 8 (1) of NCC act and section 5 (2) of NIPSS act; presenting four nominees for the NCC and one for the NIPSS.
“In accordance with section 8 (1) of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) act 2003, I write to forward the under listed names of nominees for confirmation by the senate as non-executive commissioners of the Nigeria Communications Commission,” the President said.
