President Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Mainasara Illo as executive secretary and chief executive officer of the Nigerian Anti-Doping Centre (NADC).
Senate President Godswill Akpabio read Tinubu’s request
during plenary on Tuesday.
In the letter, Tinubu said the request was made in line with
the provisions of the Nigerian Anti-Doping Act.
“Pursuant to section 15 of the Nigerian Anti-Doping Act
2025, I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate the appointment of
Mr. Mainasara Illo as executive secretary and chief executive officer of the
Nigeria Anti-Doping Centre (NADC) for an initial term of four years,” the
letter reads.
“While I hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the
nominees in its usual expeditious manner, please accept, Distinguished Senate
President, the assurances of my highest regards.”
Akpabio subsequently referred the request to the relevant
committees.
“This is referred to the committee on narcotics and also the
committee on sports to jointly screen and refer to the senate as soon as
practicable,” he said.
In a separate letter, Tinubu asked the senate to confirm the
appointment of two nominees as commissioners in the Revenue Mobilisation,
Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
The nominees are Amina Gamawa as commissioner representing
Bauchi state and Abudullahi Mukhtar as commissioner representing Kaduna state.
Tinubu said the request was made in accordance with the
provisions of the constitution.
“In accordance with the provisions of Section 1541 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 two underlisted
nominees as commissioners in the Revenue, Mobilization, Allocation, and Fiscal
Commission,” he said.
The president said he expects the Senate to confirm the
nominees promptly.
“While I hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the
nominees in its expeditious manner, please accept, distinguished senators, the
assurances of my highest consideration,” he said.
Akpabio referred the request to the Senate Committee on National Planning and Economic Affairs.
“This is referred to the Committee of National Planning and
Economic Affairs to report to the Senate within the next one week,” he added.
