The Senate Selection Committee, chaired by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has announced a major reshuffle of several standing committees, with particular focus on the Senate Committee on Airforce.
At the heart of the reconstitution is the Senate Committee on Airforce, previously chaired by Senator Godiya Akwashiki. Following his period of indisposition, the Senate has appointed the Minority Whip, Senator Osita Ngwu of Enugu State, as Acting Chairman of the Airforce Committee. Senator Ngwu had been serving as the Deputy Chairman prior to this elevation.
The Senate leadership acknowledged Senator Akwashiki’s contributions while emphasizing the need to ensure continuity in the committee’s activities pending his full resumption.
In the broader reshuffle, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi of Kebbi State now chairs the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence, replacing Senator Shehu Buba, who has been reassigned as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Livestock and Animal Husbandry.
Additionally, Senator Mustafa Musa of Yobe State has been appointed Chairman of the Senate Committee on National Planning, a role previously held by Senator Yahaya Abdullahi.
The reorganization, according to the Senate leadership, is aimed at enhancing efficiency and strengthening legislative oversight across key sectors.
