The Nigerian Senate swiftly confirmed Mrs Ayo Omidiran, a former Osun lawmaker succeeding Dr Muheeba Dankaka’s controversial tenure, as Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission alongside 37 commissioners for all 36 states and FCT—ensuring equitable federal appointments. Senate Committee Chair Sen Allwell Onyesoh reported clean screenings on Nov 13: all submitted CCB clearances, police reports, DSS vetting, and CVs with no petitions.
Sen Opeyemi Bamidele moved to Committee of the Whole; nominees shone with local/international experience, earning voice-vote approval under Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
This bolsters President Tinubu’s push for FCC reforms amid equitable representation mandates.
