Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has directed Chairmen of the National Pension Commission, Code of Conduct Bureau, and that of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission to resume duties in acting capacities pending their confirmation by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mr Bolaji Adebiyi, Permanent Secretary and Director Press Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, made this known in a statement.
