The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Dr. Saviour Enyiekere as the Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) and 11 other members.
However, the upper chamber stepped down the confirmation of the second nominee from the South-East, Nnanna Uzor Kalu.
The approval followed the consideration and adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service during Wednesday’s plenary in Abuja.
The Committee Chairman, Senator Cyril Fasuyi, who presented the report listed Dr. Saviour Enyiekere (South-South), Suleiman Hunkuyi (North-West), and Yusuf Yusuf (North-West), Aminu Malle (North-East) as members.
Others are – Alhaji Mahmud (North-East), Mark Terso (North-Central), Salihu Balogun (North-Central), Taiwo Oluga (South-West), Afeez Ipesa-Balogun (South-West), Festus Odii (South-East), Patrick Giwa (South-South), and Mrs. Mary Ekpeyong (South-South).
Fasuyi said the committee was satisfied with the credentials, performance, experience, and reputation of the appointees.
He, however, said the confirmation of the South-East nominee would be deferred until the outcome of an investigation by the Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions.
