Senate Rejects Aliyu Sa’ida Abubakar As NCC Nominee by dipoolowoo: 3:31pm On Nov 17, 2016
By Modupe Gbadeyanka

The Nigerian Senate on Thursday rejected two nominees on the Governing Board of the Nigerian Communications Communication (NCC).

However, it confirmed five nominees on the Board.

The rejected nominees are Mr Aliyu Sa’ida Abubakar (Bauchi State), nominated for the position of Stakeholders Management and Mr Ezekiel Yissa from Kwara State, nominated as Non-Executive Commissioner.

One of the rejected nominees, Mr Aliyu Sa’ida Abubakar, had led a protest to the National Assembly, calling for its dissolution.

During his screening at the Senate Committee on Communications on October 18, 2016, lawmakers confronted Mr Abubakar with evidence that he led a protest against the National Assembly. He did not deny it, but maintained his stand and insisted that the Senate should be scrapped.

Presenting the report of the committee on the floor of the Senate, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, noted that Mr Abubakar was not prepared for the demands of the office.

“Abubakar’s response to the questions and issues raised by the committee unveils him as a candidate who is not prepared for the demands of office,” Mr Nnaji said.

On the part of Mr Yissa, the committee chairman said, “Yissa’s background as a career nursing officer will not put him in good stead to be able to effectively cope with the dynamics of the communications sector if his nomination is confirmed.”

The five nominees confirmed by the Senate are Olabiyi Durojaiye (Ogun) Chairman, Sunday Dare (Oyo) Executive Commissioner, Clement Baiye (Kogi) Non-Executive Commissioner, Okoi Obono-Obla (Cross River) Non-Executive Commissioner and Ifeanyi Ararume (Imo) Non-Executive Commissioner.

Would you have emboldened this had it been the two rejected nominees were Southerners? Wouldn't you be here accusing Buhari of appointing Northerners forgetting that the Senate screened the Southerners out?

Was that not the man that had a diploma as his sole qualification?

Does that seem like someone who has what it takes to do the job? Graduates are roaming about with Bsc and Msc, someone is presenting a 1-year cert and expects to be given the job because his Nepa bill president nominated him? The Senate is full of thieves, but on this decision, I support them.

Op why did you cut out this part from the article?

The committee noted that aside birth certificate, “there were only copies of court affidavit and police extract dated the same day, strangely after he had been nominated, claiming loss of his credentials.”

It said that “Interestingly also, his highest academic qualification was a one-year “Diploma in Computer” from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi of-which the attached statement of result was dated 23rd September 2016, still after he had been nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari.”

The report said, “When requested to throw more light on why he chose to present documents that were prepared shortly after his nomination and also why he believed that he was qualified to function as a National Commissioner in such a critical agency as NCC given the rigours, challenges and required expertise for efficiency of the commission, he revealed that he ‘did not bother to go for the credentials’ because according to him he “only went to school merely for knowledge having self-employed prior to the nomination”.
