President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday urged the Senate to
consider and approve the nomination of Mr. Lamido Yuguda, for
appointment as the new Director-General of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
Also to be confirmed are three nominees as full-time
Commissioners for the Commission.
The President’s request was contained in a letter read by the
Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, during plenary in Abuja.
Buhari’s letter reads in part: “Pursuant to Section 3 and 5(1)
of the Investment and Securities Act 2007, I write to request for
confirmation by the Senate, the appointment of the following four
nominees as Director General and Commissioners of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC).”
Those for confirmation are: Mr. Lamido A. Yuguda, Director
General; Reginald C. Karawusa, full-time Commissioner; Ibrahim D.
Boyi, full-time Commissioner; and Mr. Obisan T. Joseph, full-time
Commissioner.
Buhari’s request is coming two years and eight months after
Mounir Gwarzo was suspended and later removed as the DG of SEC.
