Tinubu Urges Senate to Confirm Sack of FCCPC Chairman, Irukera

This request was contained in a letter from Tinubu which was read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary on Tuesday.

Nigeria‘s President Bola Tinubu has begged the Senate to confirm the sack of the Chairman of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Babatunde Irukera.

He made the request in a letter from Tinubu which was read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, during plenary on Tuesday.

The request follows the sack of Irukera as FCCPC boss.

Tinubu also sought the confirmation of Oluwole Andama as the Executive Director of the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) in the Nigerian Midstream, Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.

The Senate President, however, referred both requests by the President to the Senate Committee of the Whole and Senate Committee on Gas and Downstream.
