President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday urged the Senate to consider and confirm the nomination of Ambassador Ismael Abba Yusuf for appointment as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
The President also asked the Red Chamber to confirm the nomination of Rear Admiral Jemila Abubakar Marafa (retd.) from Adamawa State as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The requests were contained in two letters the President transmitted to the Senate and read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary.
After reading the letters, Akpabio referred the nomination of Yusuf and Marafa to the committees on Foreign Affairs and Electoral Matters for further legislative work and to report back in one week.
