Poor turnout of lawmakers has stalled the screening of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu, at Thursday’s plenary session.
The Senate made this known after it cancelled the screening of Magu which was initial scheduled for Thursday.
The EFCC boss and other member nominees of the commission had earlier turned up at the beginning of plenary for the screening, but had to leave when it appeared that the screening exercise was not going to hold.
Briefing journalists after plenary, Senate deputy majority leader, Bala Ibn Na’allah, confirmed that the senate could not attend to the screening, because of the poor attendance of lawmakers.
However Na’allah stated that Magu has officially been informed of the decision of the senate to reschedule the screening for next Thursday.
