The senate, on Tuesday, confirmed the appointment of Yahaya Muhammad nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari as a board member of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, The Nation reports that while Muhammad was being confirmed by the upper chamber, senator representing Jigawa North-east, Hassan Hadejia, said there was discrepancy in the sequence of Muhammad’s educational experience.

Hadejia said it was written on the nominee’s document before the senate that he was born on September 29, 1969, and started schooling in 1968 at the Central Primary School.

“My name is Senator Hassan Hadejia, representing Jigawa Northeast Senatorial District. Let me bring to the notice of the House certain discrepancies in the report, which are contradictory, especially with regards to one of the nominees, Alhaji Yahaya Muhammad, on Page 8, where the nominee, according to record, started his primary school before he was born,” she said.

“There is also an overlap in the sequence of his educational experience because here he was born on September 29, 1969 and he started his education at Central Primary School in 1968.

“Then he was in Borno Teachers’ College from 1975 and 1988 while simultaneously he was in the College of Administration Studies from 1980 to 1981.

“If these are typographical errors, Mr. President, maybe we should have them corrected for the sake of our record.”

But Suleiman Abdu Kwari, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes, urged the chamber to confirm Muhammad and other nominees.

It was reported that the senate did not resolve or seek to correct the discrepancies Hadejia drew attention to before confirming Muhammad as EFCC board member.

The senate also approved the appointment of George Ekungu from Cross River State as Secretary of the anti-corruption agency.

Other board members appointed to the board are: Luqman Muhammed (Edo); Anumba Adaeze (Enugu); and Kola Adesina (Kwara).
