Ogunlana Succeeds Tambuwal As New National Assembly Clerk

The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) has approved the appointment of Kamoru Ogunlana as the new Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA).

In a letter dated November 6, 2024, and signed by NASC executive chairman, Engr. Ahmed Kadi Amshi, the appointment takes effect from February 2, 2025.

While stating that Ogunlana’s appointment was in recognition of his hard work and administrative competence, the NASC executive chairman tasked him to continue to uphold the confidence reposed in him.

He said the appointment of Ogunlana followed the pre-retirement notice sent by the Commission to the incumbent CNA, Sani Magaji Tambuwal, notifying him of his retirement from the service of the National Assembly effective February 2, 2025.

According to the Commission in a notice to Tambuwal, Ogunlana would oversee the office of the CNA “while working closely with you to ensure smooth transition until he takes over from you as the substantive Clerk to the National Assembly on February 2, 2025.”

Ogunlana, an indigene of Omu-Ijebu in the Odogbolu local government area of Ogun State, was born on June 22, 1967, in Tiko town, South-West Cameroon.

He holds a degree in Law from Ogun State University, Ago-Iwoye, attended the Nigerian Law School in 1989/1990, and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1990.

The new CNA is a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and International Bar Association (IBA).
