At plenary, a member of the Committee, Senator Adetunmbi Olubunmi, explained to lawmakers that the committee had met with the Deputy governors of the Apex bank when they appeared before the committee for the confirmation of their reappointment and have gathered necessary information regarding the new policies.
However, he moved that the Consideration of the report be suspended to the next legislative day due to the absence of the chairman of the Committee ,who is away in Kaduna State for the APC Campaign Rally, and would prefer to present the report in person.
The President of the Senate Obliged his request despite opposition from his Colleague, Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa.
The Senate is expected to consider the report on Wednesday upon the return of the Chairman of the Committee , Senator Uba Sani.
