The National Assembly Service Commission has appointed Kamoru Ogunlana as the new Clerk of the National Assembly, succeeding Sani Magaji Tambuwal, who has commenced his retirement leave.
The appointment was announced on Thursday in a statement by Emmanuel Onyigor, Deputy Director of Information for the National Assembly Commission.
Ogunlana will officially assume the role on January 2, 2025, with his appointment becoming effective on February 2, 2025, according to a letter from Engr. Ahmed Kadi, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission.
The confirmation followed the Commission’s 610th meeting on November 6, 2024.
The Commission cited Ogunlana’s appointment as a testament to his dedication and administrative skills, urging him to fulfill the responsibilities expected in his new role.
Meanwhile, Tambuwal, who began his pre-retirement leave on November 1, 2024, has transferred his duties to his deputy, Kamouroudeen Ogundele. This transition follows reports that around thirty senior officials, including Tambuwal, are expected to retire after President Bola Tinubu declined to extend their tenures under a recent legislative change.
