The Senate, on Thursday, confirmed the nomination of Omolola Oloworaran for appointment as Director-General of the National Pension Commission.
President Bola Tinubu had written to the Senate requesting confirmation of the nominee.
The Senate’s resolution followed its consideration and adoption of the report from the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service during plenary.
Committee Chairman, Senator Cyril Fasuyi, a member of the All Progressives Congress representing the Ekiti North Senatorial District, stated that the committee had observed that the nominee met the legal requirements specified under sections 19 (2), (5), (6), and 26 of the Pension Reform Act 2014 (Act No. 4) for appointment to the position of Director-General of the National Pension Commission.
He added that the committee had established both in fact and law that the nominee had satisfied the requisite requirements and was “a qualified, fit, and proper person suitable for appointment as Director-General of the National Pension Commission.”
The lawmakers approved Oloworaran’s nomination for the PENCOM DG’s role when Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, who presided over plenary, put the committee’s recommendation to a voice vote.
