President Bola Tinubu has reappointed Babatunde Irukera as the Chairman of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and sought the Senate’s confirmation.
President Tinubu had last December sacked Irukera as the Chairman of the FCCPC.
However, Tinubu in a letter read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary on Tuesday, sought the Senate confirmation of Irukera as the FCCPC boss.
Tinubu also sought the confirmation of Oluwole Andama as the Executive Director of the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund in the Nigerian Midstream, Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
The Senate president referred both requests by the President to the Senate Committee of the Whole and Senate Committee on Gas and Downstream.
The Senate thereafter entered into an executive section to discuss urgent matters of national importance, which Akpabio hinted to be around national security.
