Members of the commission also presented for confirmation were Ebele Bernard Chima, South East; Bassey Dan Abia, South-South; and Mohammed Ibraheem, South-West.

The President also asked the Senate to confirm Diana Okonta (South-South); and Ya’ana Talib Yaro (North-East) as non-executive directors of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, referred the confirmation request of the NDIC nominees to the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and Financial Institutions.

The committee, which was given two weeks to report back to the upper chamber, is chaired by Senator Uba Sani.
