Senate Approves Nominations for FCCPC and ICRC Leadership Roles

The Nigerian Senate has approved the nominations of Dr. Olatunji Bello and Dr. Jobson Eseodion Ewalefoh for key leadership positions in the Federal Government.

FCCPC Appointment:
The Senate has approved the nomination of Dr. Olatunji Bello for the position of Chief Executive Officer/Executive Vice-Chairman of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). This follows a request made by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, urging the Senate to consider and confirm Dr. Bello’s appointment.

The confirmation was a result of the Senate’s consideration of the report presented by the Committee on Trade and Investment, chaired by Senator Sadiq Suleiman (APC-Kwara North).

ICRC Appointment:
Additionally, the Senate has approved the nomination of Dr. Jobson Eseodion Ewalefoh for the position of Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC). This approval also came after the Senate’s consideration and approval of the report from the Committee on Trade and Investment, chaired by Senator Sadiq Suleiman.

The Senate’s actions in approving these key appointments demonstrate its commitment to supporting the President’s choices for leading important regulatory and oversight bodies within the Federal Government.
