During its plenary session, the upper chamber also confirmed the nominations of Maryam Bayi (North East), Senator Ramoni Olalekan Mustafa (South West), and Ikechukwu Ugwuegede (South East) as Commissioners of the NCC.
Others who received Senate confirmation include Princess Oforitsenere Emiko and Christopher Sandy Okorie, both representing the South-South region.
The newly confirmed members will join the Executive Vice Chairman, Dr. Aminu Maida (North West); Executive Commissioner for Technical Services, Engineer Abraham Oshadami (North Central); and Executive Commissioner for Stakeholder Management, Rimini H.
