President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a new and substantive Director-General for the apex capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The new appointment was contained in a letter sent by the president to the Senate, asking for the confirmation of Mr Lamido Yuguda as the new Director-General of the Security and Exchange Commission.

In the letter which was read by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, during the plenary session on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, the president is requesting the upper chamber to confirm the new Director-General and 3 other commissioners for the commission.

— Channels Television (@channelstv) May 19, 2020

This appointment ends the controversy surrounding that office and ends the tenure of Mary Uduk, who has been the Acting Director-General, since the controversial sack of the former Director-General, Mounir Gwarzo, in November 2017 by the then Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.

Gwarzo, who was sacked on claims of award of the contract to his companies and collection of a severance package from SEC, where he had served as Executive Commissioner, claimed that he was suspended by the former finance minister because he protested her directive to stop the forensic audit being carried out on Oando at that time.

An administrative panel of inquiry which was set up to look into these alleged violations of public service rules and other rules and regulations recommended the dismissal of the former DG on the award of a contract to his company.
