The Senate on Tuesday, May 21, confirmed the nomination of Rimini Makama for appointment as Executive Commissioner Stakeholders Management and Abraham Oshadami as Executive Commissioner Technical Services in the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
The Daily Crucible reports that President Bola Tinubu had three months ago approved the appointment of two new people, Abraham Oshadami and Rimini Makama as Executive Commissioners of the NCC.
Oshadami was designated as the Executive Commissioner, of Technical Services, while Makama would be in charge of Stakeholder Management at the Commission.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement at the time announcing the reconstitution of the management of three agencies under the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy.
However, the confirmation of Oshadami and Makama on Tuesday, May 21, by the Senate followed the consideration and approval of recommendations of its committee on communications that screened the nominees during the plenary.
The report was presented by the chairman of the committee, Senator Aliyu Bilbis (Zamfara Central).
Bilbis in his report said the two nominees met the relevant criteria for appointment and therefore recommended that their nominations be approved.
Senators approved the nominations when the recommendations were put to voice vote by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
