The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) has approved the appointment of Emmanuel Odo as the Acting Clerk of the Senate.

The announcement was made during the commission’s 10th meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja.

“This is in exercise of its powers as provided in Section 6(b) of the National Assembly Service Act, 2014.”

He noted that Odo’s elevation was in recognition of his hard work and administrative competence, urging him to justify the confidence reposed in him.

Before his appointment, Odo served as Deputy Clerk, Senate (Administration).
