Civil Society Central Coordinating Council (CSCCC) on Wednesday hailed the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio over exemplary leadership he displayed during the just concluded screening of ministerial nominees sent to the parliament by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Senate on Monday finally concluded the screening of 45 of the 48 ministerial nominees of President Bola Tinubu, confirming them as cabinet members after a week of intense grilling.

The group in a statement signed by its executives, Barr. Comrade Abang, Ugochukwu Nzube and Peter Chidi, said Akpabio displayed high level of leadership competence and non-partisanship with the way the nominees were grilled.

The group also hailed the Senate President over the composition of the Senate standing committees.

They applauded the fact that every lawmaker regardless of political party or tribe were carried along.

The CSO, reacting to a trending video on the comment made by Senate President Godswill Akpabio on statutory payments to federal lawmakers said it is being taken out of context by mischief makers.

They added that he was referring to the salaries and allowances of lawmakers, but presented it a jovial manner which is now being miscontrued.
