Gbenga Alade Confirmed By Senate To Lead AMCON

The Senate officially ratified the appointment of Gbenga Alade as the Managing Director of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) during its session on Tuesday.

Additionally, the Senate confirmed the appointments of Adeshola Lamidi, Lucky Adaghe, and Aminu Mukthar as Executive Directors of AMCON.

The decision by the Red Chamber came following the endorsement of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and other financial institutions, which thoroughly vetted the nominees. Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, the Committee’s Chairman, presented the report affirming their suitability for the roles.

These confirmations stem from their nominations by President Bola Tinubu, who sought the Senate’s approval for their appointments.
