President Bola Tinubu has urged the Senate to confirm the nomination of Retired Adm. Jamila Abubakar, as National Commissioner representing Adamawa at the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The president’s request is contained in a letter addressed
to President of Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and read at plenary on Tuesday.
“In compliance with the provisions of section 154 of section
1 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, I am
pleased to forward for confirmation by the senate the appointment of Adm Jamila
Abubakar Sadiq retired as Commissioner representing Adamawa state at the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“While I hope that the senate will consider and confirm the
nominee expeditiously, please accept, the Senate President, the assurances of
my highest consideration,” Tinubu said in the letter.
Akpabio, thereafter, referred the request to the Senate
Committee on INEC for further legislative inputs, to be returned in one week.
Similarly, Tinubu, in a separate letter, also urged the
senate to confirm the nomination of Amb. Ismail Yusuf for appointment as
Chairman of National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON.
Tinubu, in the letter, said that the request for the
confirmation of the appointment was in accordance with the provisions of
section 3(2) of the NAHCON Act, 2026.
“While it is my hope that the senate will consider and
confirm the appointment expeditiously, please accept, Mr Senate President and
distinguished Senators, the assurances of my highest regards,” he said.
Akpabio equally referred the request to the Senate Committee
on Rules and Business for further legislative inputs and to report back to
plenary in one week.
