    SENATE has confirmed President Bola Tinubu’s appointment of Omolola Oloworaran as the Director General, DG of the National Pension Commission, PenCom.

    President Tinubu had last month written to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Oloworaran’s appointment as the new DG
    The confirmation done during Thursday’s plenary was sequel to the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service, chaired by Senator Cyril Fasuyi (APC Ekiti North).
    Presenting the report, Senator Fasuyi said the committee observed that the nominee possessed the requisite legal requirement specified under the provisions of sections 19 (2), (5)(6), and 26 of the Pension Reform Act-2014, Act No. 4 necessary for appointment to the position of Director-General of the PenCom.
    According to the chairman, there was no objection against Oloworaran’s appointment as at the time of presenting the report.

    He said the committees established both in fact and in law that, the nominee, has satisfied the requisite requirements and “is hereby affirmed to be qualified, fit and proper person suitable for appointment as the Director-General of the National Pension Commission.”

    The Senate, accordingly approved the nomination of Oloworaran for appointment as the Director General of PenCom when the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, who presided over the plenary, put the recommendation of the committee to voice vote for the determination of senators.
    President Tinubu had on Wednesday written to the Senate requesting confirmation of the appointment of the new DG.
