Senate yesterday confirmed the appointment of Mrs Olukemi Iyantan as one of the Commissioners in the National Population Commission, NPC, representing Ondo State.
Her confirmation followed the consideration of the recommendations made to that effect by its Committee on National Identity Card and National Population.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central), who presented the report which recommended her confirmation, said based on the credentials made available to the committee and public service pedigree of the presidential nominee, she deserves the appointment and should be confirmed by the Senate.
The Senate accordingly moved into the committee of the whole for clause by clause consideration and confirmation of Iyantan’s appointment as Commissioner of the National Population Commission from Ondo State.
In his remarks after the confirmation, the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, who presided over the session, admonished Mrs Iyantan to join other commissioners and chairman of NPC to move the commission forward.
