Senate confirms Musa Aliyu as ICPC chairman

The Senate has officially confirmed Musa Aliyu as the substantive chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

He was confirmed following a screening session on Thursday during the plenary.

The screening commenced at approximately 11:50 am following a request by the leader, Bamidele Opeyemi, to temporarily suspend specific Senate rules, permitting external individuals to enter the chamber.

Deputy President Jibirin Barau of the Committee of a Whole led the screening to scrutinize Aliyu, who was the attorney general of Jigawa State until his confirmation.
