…To adjourn for two weeks.

The Senate on Wednesday referred the nomination of Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem for confirmation as the President of the Court of Appeal to its Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters for screening.

This followed a motion by the Senate Leader in order to enable the Senate amend its order and to refer the confirmation request to the Committee chaired by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said it became necessary to screen the nominee and consider the Committee’s report before the 9th Senate will proceed on two weeks break to celebrate the first anniversary.

When she appeared before the senate on Wednesday, I. D. Gyang, a senator, who is not a member of the committee, stood in solidarity with her.

Gyang expressed gratitude to the senate for screening her speedily, assuring his colleagues that as president the court of appeal, she would make the nation proud.

After addressing the committee, Dongban-Mensem was asked to “take a bow and go”.

The senate would take a decision on her nomination on Thursday.
