President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the senate to confirm
Abike Dabiri-Erewa as chair of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM)
for a second term in office.
Buhari’s request was contained in a letter read by Senate
President Ahmad Lawan on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Tuesday.
Dabiri-Erewa is the pioneer chair of the commission that is

national assembly representing Ikorodu constituency in Lagos.
In a separate letter, the president asked the upper
legislative chamber to appoint six commissioners for the Revenue Mobilisation
Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
The president nominated Ayogu Eze (Enugu state), Peter Opara
(Imo state), and Hauwa Aliyu (Jigawa state).
Others are Tanko Ayuba Haruna (Kebbi state), Ismaila
Mohammed (Kwara state), and Kolawole Daniel Abimbola (Oyo state).
