President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed new members into the board of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

While he appointed Mr George Abang as secretary of the board, Lukman Mohammed, Kola Adeshina and Mohammed Yahaya were appointed as board members.

The appointments are subjected to the ratification of the senate.

Buhari’s letter seeking confirmation of the nominees was read on the floor of the Senate by its president, Ahmad Lawan, at the commencement of plenary on Tuesday.

He urged the Senate to confirm them in the “usual expeditious manner”.
