The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Aminu Maida as the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, following the consideration and adoption of a report submitted by the Senate Committee on Communication, which screened the nominee on Wednesday.
The committee chairman, Senator Aliyu Ikra while presenting the report during plenary, said Maida’s nomination was in accordance with section 8 (1) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Act, 2003, stating that the committee found him worthy of the appointment.
He specifically informed the Senate that Maida passed security clearance as well as possessed the requisite qualifications, professional experience, competence, and capacity to occupy the office.
The lawmaker also said there was no petition against his nomination and therefore recommended his confirmation.
The Senate, thereafter, confirmed the appointment of Aminu Maida as Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC.
