Nigerian senators are kicking as appointees of President Muhammadu Buhari for the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) and Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) have assumed duties without confirmation.
According to Dailytrust report, the Senators said Lanre Gbajabiamila who had issues with the Senate when he resumed in May, this year as head of NLRC has again resumed contrary to the act establishing the commission.
They also said the assumption of office by the Managing Director/CEO of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Nurudeen Abdurahaman Rafindadi was illegal.
“Section 8(1) of the Nigerian Lottery Regulatory Commission Act says the President shall appoint the Director-General subject to the confirmation of the Senate,” senators said the assumption of office by Gbajabiamila was unconstitutional.
“You will recall that when the issue was raised last time, he stopped parading himself as DG but he has again resumed. This is unconstitutional,” he said.
Another senator who also pleaded anonymity said Gbajabiamila has assumed duty through the ‘backdoor’.
