Truetells Nigeria reports that this was made known in a letter dated September 28, 2021 and read by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on the floor of the Senate at plenary.
President Buhari on Wednesday nominated Engr. Farouk Ahmed as Auwalu’s replacement.
Buhari said the replacement request was done in accordance with the provision of Section 34(3) of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021.
Recall that the president had in a letter dated September 16, 2021, requested the Upper Chamber to confirm Auwalu alongside three others as board members of the NMDPRA.
Meanwhile, The Nigerian Senate has asked President Buhari to stop treating bandits and kidnappers in the country with kid gloves.
In a series of resolutions during plenary on Wednesday, the upper chamber urged the President to declare bandits as terrorists and treat them the same way Boko Haram insurgents are being treated.
The Red chamber called on the Federal Government to wage total war against the bandits, including bombing all their locations to annihilate and eliminate them.
According to the Senate, all known leadership of the bandits should be declared wanted and the military should arrest and prosecute them.
The Senate observed a minute of silence in honour of the fallen heroes and civilians who lost their lives in the unwholesome activities of the bandits.
