The President said that the appointment of the nominees was done in compliance with the provision of section 5(2)(4) of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation Act to fill existing vacancies.

Senate Leader, Mr Yahaya Abdullahi, moved a motion relying on order 1(b) of the Senate standing rules for the upper chamber to expedite action on the President’s request for the confirmation of the nominees.

Senate President, Mr Ahmad Lawan in his ruling, underscored the need for the upper chamber to fast-track the process to enable committees of the senate to screen the nominees.

Lawan, thereafter, referred the confirmation request of the NDIC nominees to the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and Financial Institutions.

The Committee chaired by Sen. Uba Sani (APC- Kaduna) was given two weeks to report back to the upper chamber
