Senate Moves to Remove CAC Registrar Hussaini Magaji
The Nigerian Senate has moved to remove Hussaini Magaji, the Registrar General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), following his repeated refusal to appear before the Senate to account for his stewardship. The motion for his removal was introduced by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and seconded by Senator Adam Oshohmol, citing Magaji's disrespect towards the Senate.
His conspicuous absence during a session discussing the 2026 budgetary matters and fiscal policies was particularly noted. Senator Musa Sani, the chairman of the Senate committee, expressed disappointment in Magaji's behavior, highlighting that he often sends junior staff instead of attending personally.
The Senate has decided to take a tough stance against Magaji's insubordination, with a motion calling for a warrant for his arrest receiving overwhelming support. This action has raised questions about Magaji's future in office, especially as the Senate emphasizes accountability for public officials.
The outcome of this motion could significantly impact Magaji's position as the CAC undergoes reforms.
