For assuming duties before screening and confirmation, President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominee for the position of Director-General, National Lottery Regulatory Commission, Lanre Gbajabiamila, was yesterday asked to steer clear of the office until his nomination is approved by Senate.

The Senate warned the nominee who is a younger brother of House of Representatives Majority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, not to be seen within the vicinity of the commission.

It condemned the resumption of the nominee without an appointment letter and legislative confirmation, saying this is in violation of Section 8 (1) of the Nigerian Lottery Regulatory Commission which stipulates that the president shall appoint the director-general subject to the confirmation of the Senate.
