President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday wrote to the senate seeking the confirmation of the appointment of Mr. Musa Nuhu as the substantive director general of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
The message was conveyed in a letter which was read out by the senate president, Mr. Ahmad Lawan, at the start of plenary.
While he described Nuhu as a reputable airline pilot and aviation safety expert with well over 30 years of cognate working experience in the aviation industry, the president said the appointment is pursuant to Section 8, Part IV of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (Establishment, etc.) Act.
Similarly, he asked the senate to confirm the appointment of Kingsley Obiora as the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The appointment, he said, is in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(1)(2) of the CBN (Establishment) Act 2007.
In addition, the president sought the confirmation of the appointment of Mr. Adeolu Akande as the chairman of the governing board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Mr. Uche Onwude as a member (southeast) of the board.
This, he said, is in accordance with the provision of Section 8(1) of the NCC Act, 2003.
