The National Assembly Service Commission has appointed Magaji Tambuwal as the Clerk of the National Assembly.
Naija News recalls that there were controversies at the National Assembly months ago when the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) named Tambuwal as the successor of the outgoing Clerk to the National Assembly, Amos Olatunde Ojo.
His appointment at the time was said to have violated relevant sections of the National Assembly Service Commission Act 2014.
A Public Affairs Analyst, Haruna Abdulsalam Mohammed noted this in a publication four months ago. However, Tambuwal was confirmed for the position in a letter dated Wednesday, 29th March 2023. 
Buhari Swears In Arase As PSC Chairman, Five CCB Board Members Take Oath
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, March 29th, President Muhammadu Buhari swore in former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase (rtd.) as the new Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; and Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, were among other council members who attended the swearing-in ceremony held today at the council chamber before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) weekly meeting, Naija News reports.
Arase was inaugurated for the new position just two months after the Senate confirmed him as chairperson of the PSC.
Arase who retired in 2016, was the 18th indigenous Inspector-General of Police (IGP) between April 2015 and June 2016 and has served in various capacities including as head of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, the foremost intelligence-gathering unit of the Nigerian police.
Addressing State House Correspondents shortly after the swearing-in, Arase promised to prioritise the welfare of officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force.
He also vowed to address the issue of corruption and the recurring issues between the IGP and the PSC.
At the same event, President Buhari today swore in five board members of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
They include Murtala Kankia from Katsina State (North-West); Zephaniah Bulus from Nasarawa State (North Central); Farouk Umar from Yobe State (North East); Taofeek Abdulsalam from Ondo State (South West); and Prof. Juwaria Badamasi from Kogi State (North Central).
Council members also observed a moment of silence in honour of Lt. Gen. Oladipo Diya who died on Sunday, March 26, 2023.
Diya served as Chief of General Staff and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council under the Gen. Sani Abacha regime.
Born on April 3, 19,44 at Odogbolu in Ogun State, Diya joined the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna and fought during the Nigerian Civil War.
He was appointed Chief of General Staff in 1993 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994.
