Balogun noted that the Committee of the Whole House, led by the speaker, had screened the nominee on Thursday and found him eligible, qualified and suitable for the position.

He explained that the curriculum vitae of the nominee was thoroughly and carefully scrutinised by the committee.

The deputy speaker moved the motion for the adoption of the report and seconded by Mrs Bolanle Ajayi (APC-Yewa South).
