Also on Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari urged the Senate to consider and confirm Haliru Nababa for appointment as the Controller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS).

This is the most useless national assembly this country has produced since 1999..look at these idiots called senators! They took three resolutions to demand the sack of these ex service chiefs for incompetence yet went ahead like common fools to confirm their names for ambassadorial jobs. What a shame.
