President Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Benedict Umeano as a member of the Governing Board of the Code of Conduct Bureau, representing the South-East.
In a correspondence read during plenary, the President stated that the nomination is in accordance with Section 154(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
He noted that Umeano is being considered for a second term and urged the Senate to give the request expeditious consideration.
The Senate has referred the nomination to its Committee on Anti-Corruption for further legislative review, with a report expected within one week.
