akpabio RESHUFFLES AKPABIO RESHUFFLES SENATE COMMITTEES
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has carried out a minor shake-up of the standing committees of the upper legislative chamber.
Akpabio made the changes on Wednesday after Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno South, was removed as the chief whip and replaced with Tahir Monguno, the senator representing Borno North.
As part of the reshuffle, Akpabio appointed Musa Mustapha, the senator representing Yobe East, to head the committee on livestock development.
This development came about a week after President Bola Tinubu hinted at creating a ministry of livestock development.
The appointment of Mustapha to this role signals the senate’s alignment with the president’s vision for bolstering the livestock sector in Nigeria.
In addition to Mustapha’s appointment, Akpabio also announced Adeniyi Adegbonmire, the senator representing Ondo Central, as the new chairman of the judiciary and legal matters committee.
Monguno, who was the chairman of the judiciary and legal matters committee before being nominated as the chief whip, has now taken on his new responsibilities.
Akpabio stated, “The chairman of the senate committee on the proposed reparation and repatriation becomes Senator Ned Nwoko.”
He also noted that the deputy chairman of the senate committee on appropriation would be Senator Mohammed Monguno, in addition to his role as the chief whip of the senate.
Further appointments included Simon Lalong and Abdul Ningi, who were named as chairmen of the senate committee on agricultural institutions and national population, respectively.
These appointments are part of a broader strategy to enhance the effectiveness of the senate’s oversight and legislative functions across various sectors.
The reshuffle aims to bring fresh perspectives and leadership to key committees, ensuring that the legislative agenda aligns with national priorities and addresses pressing issues effectively.Akpabio’s strategic appointments reflect a commitment to strengthening the senate’s role in driving development and reform across different sectors in Nigeria.
