The President conveys that, in exercise of powers conferred to him by Section 8 of the Teachers Service Commission Act, 2012, he nominates Dr. Lydia N.

His Excellency the President, therefore, seeks the approval of the nominee by this House for appointment to the aforementioned position. Hon.

Pursuant to the provisions of the said Standing Order, therefore; and paragraph 3 of Standing Order No.42, regarding Messages from the President, I hereby refer the Message from the President to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to undertake the necessary approval hearings.

In this regard, I wish to guide the Committee and the House as follows:- 1.
