Days after the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi, the Senator representing Yobe East, Mustapha Musa, has been named as the new chairman of the committee on the National Identity and Population Commission.

President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio made the announcement on Thursday at the commencement of the plenary.

Senator Musa was sworn in as a Federal Republic of Nigeria senator in February 2024 after his victory at the by-election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission on February 3.

Senator Musa replaced Ibrahim Geidam, the current minister of Police Affairs, who resigned from the upper chamber.
