BREAKING! Senate Speaks On Screening Of Newly Appointed EFCC Chairman
The senate has revealed that the newly appointed EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa will be screened in plenary.
Lawan gave this indication after he read President Muhammadu Buhari’s letter nominating Bawa for the EFCC’s top job on the floor of the Senate in Abuja.
“The EFCC chairman will be screened in plenary in keeping with our tradition,” Lawan declared.
Buhari, in his letter, said the nomination of Bawa was in keeping with paragraph 2(3) of Part 1, CAP E1 of the EFCC Act 2004.
