Senator Bassey is expected to assume duties immediately.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, was appointed as chair of the Diaspora and NGOs Committee on February 4, 2025, following her earlier removal as Chair of the Senate Committee on Local Content.
Her latest removal marks another slight reshuffling within the Senate committee leadership. Natasha is currently fighting the leadership of the Senate following her accusation of sexual harassment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
