Haruna Mohammed, a public affairs commentator, has criticised the appointment of Magaji Tambuwal as the acting clerk of the national assembly.

how the office of the head of service had said it was in order for Olatunde Ojo, outgoing clerk, to continue working during his retirement leave.the commission appointed Tambuwal as the acting clerk of the national assembly.

The aforementioned section gives the commission the power to “appoint persons to hold or act in the offices”.In a statement faulting Tambuwal’s appointment, Mohammed said the organogram of the national assembly bureaucracy and line of duties as captured in sections 6, 7 and 12 of the National Assembly Service Act, 2014, shows Tambuwal is not qualified for appointment as clerk.

“The present scenario is a resonation of the same worrisome trend in which Ojo Olatunde Amos was appointed by the same commission from his position as secretary, directorate of procurement and supplies, to mount the saddle in July 2020 as acting clerk to the national assembly. “In short, the instruction to the outgoing clerk to hand over the reins of the national assembly to the most-senior-secretary is a manifest departure from the provisions of section 7 of the Act that prohibits delegation.
