National Assembly appoints Tambuwal as acting Clerk

The National Assembly Service Commission has given its approval for Mr. Sani Magaji Tambuwal, a former secretary of finance and accounts, to be named as the assembly’s acting clerk.

This was made known in a statement on Friday by Ahmed Amshi, the NASC Chairman.

However, the head of NASC stated that Tambuwal would collaborate with Olatunde Ojo, the departing clerk, who is now on his three-month Pre-retirement Leave.

According to him, the move was made in order to adhere to the Authentication Act, which states that only the substantive clerk may transmit the Appropriations Bill, which is presently being worked on by the National Assembly, to the President.
