The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Halilu Shaba as the Director-General of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).
The upper chamber gave the approval at plenary on Wednesday following the consideration of the report of the Senate Committee on Science and Technology, chaired by Senator Uche Ekwunife.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on March 2, 2021, asked the Senate to confirm Shaba as DG of NASRDA.
Shaba had been in acting capacity as the Director-General of the agency following the expiration of the two-term tenure of Seidu Mohammed in June 2020.
