Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Husaini Magaji, following his repeated failure to honour invitations to appear before lawmakers.
The resolution was adopted after a motion was raised by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu when the President’s economic team appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance.
During the introduction of agency heads at the start of the session, which began on a strained note, lawmakers expressed displeasure over the absence of the CAC boss, who had been invited to give an account of the commission’s activities.
Senator Uzor Kalu angrily moved a motion calling for the immediate removal of the Registrar-General, citing what he described as persistent refusal to honour invitations from the finance committee.
“Since I came to the Senate, he has always given excuses that he is in the Villa.”

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa, also raised concerns about unresolved issues surrounding the reconciliation of the commission’s revenues, noting that the agency head had repeatedly failed to appear to address the matters.
Backing the motion, Senator Adams Oshiomhole proposed that the Senate take further steps by withholding approval of the CAC’s 2026 budget.
