The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Prof. Ayo Omotayo as the Director-General of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos in Plateau.
Omotayo’s confirmation was sequel to the consideration of a report by the Joint Committee on Establishment and Public Service Matters and the Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs during Tuesday’s plenary.
Vice Chairman of the committee, Danjuma La’ah, presented the report on behalf of the chairman, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau.
He described the nominee as an “asset”, who possessed the requisite legal requirements specified under sections 3(2b) and 5 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies 2004.
