Hon. Senators, Standing Order No.77 (1) of the Senate Standing Orders provide as follows- “That upon receipt of notification nomination for appointment of public office required to be approved by the Senate under the Constitution or any other legislation, the nomination shall stand committed to the relevant standing committee for consideration.” This Message, therefore, together with the nominee’s curriculum vitae and testimonials, stand committed to the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations of the Senate, for vetting jointly with the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs of the National Assembly, in accordance with the provisions of the National Police Act, Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act and the Standing Orders of the Houses of Parliament. Kindly be guided accordingly."
