The senate has confirmed the appointment of Adama Oluwole Oladapo as the Executive Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund Board (NMDGIFB).
This is coming over a month after President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of a governing council and an Executive Director for NMDGIFB.
The resolution and confirmation by the upper legislative chamber followed its approval of the recommendation of the Committee on Gas and Petroleum Resources (Downstream) that had screened Oladapo.
Nominee qualified, meets all requirements
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, announced the confirmation after he was cleared through a voice vote during the plenary.
The new director was screened by members of the Senate Committee on Gas and Petroleum Resources during the committee’s meeting.
The Chairman of the Committee, Agom Jarigbe, who represents Cross River North under the PDP platform, said his committee recommended the confirmation of Mr Oladapo’s appointment.
He said Mr Oladapo possessed all the necessary professional qualifications and expertise to manage the affairs of the nation’s gas industry board.
He said the new director of the gas infrastructure fund board meets all the requirements mandated by the law to pilot affairs of the agency.
Mr Jarigbe, therefore, urged his colleagues to support the confirmation of Mr Oladapo.
The senators subsequently supported the confirmation of the appointment through a voice vote.
