The Senate has confirmed Emomotimi Agama as the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Alongside Agama, other appointments confirmed by the Senate include Frank Chukwuogor as Executive Commissioner (Legal and Enforcement), Abimbola Ajomale as Executive Commissioner (Operations), and Samiya Usman as Executive Commissioner (Corporate Services).
The confirmations followed the presentation of a report by Osita Izunaso, Chair of the Senate Committee on Capital Markets. Izunaso, representing Imo West, stated that the nominees met all necessary requirements for their appointments by President Bola Tinubu.
“They were eminently qualified for the positions. They passed all security checks and answered relevant questions during the screening,” Izunaso reported.
Following the presentation, the Senate voted and confirmed the nominees.
Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin urged the appointees to execute their duties with diligence and integrity for the betterment of the country.
“They should do their work in the best way they can to turn around the economy of Nigeria,” Jibrin said.
“They should try not to let Mr. President down or the nation. They should do their best to use that institution to promote the wellbeing of this country.”
