The Senate has officially confirmed Musa Aliyu as the substantive chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
He was confirmed following a screening session on Thursday during the plenary.
The screening commenced at approximately 11:50 am following a request by the leader, Bamidele Opeyemi, to temporarily suspend specific Senate rules, permitting external individuals to enter the chamber.
Deputy President Jibirin Barau of the Committee of a Whole led the screening to scrutinise Aliyu, who was the attorney general of Jigawa State until his confirmation.
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday sent a letter to the Senate, requesting confirmation for Aliyu as the agency’s chairman.
