Senate Confirmed Muheeba Dankaka as Chairman Federal Character Commission, and 36 Others as Members

 Ahmed Lawan, Nigeria Senate President

The senate has confirmed thirty seven nominees for the board of the Federal Character Commission, including the chairman, Muheeba Dankaka.

This was through a voice vote shortly after a report was presented by Danjuma Laah, the chairman of the committee on federal character and inter-governmental affairs.

But before this process, the president of the senate, Ahmed Lawan, read a letter from President Buhari seeking a replacement of a nominee who died.

Daniel James Kolo, the nominee from Kwara, has been replaced by James Gia Kolo, who will be screened by the committee at a later date.

He is the second nominee to have died among those appointed by the president to serve on the board.
