The Make A Difference Initiative (MADI) has questioned the process leading to the emergence of a new Chairman of the Investment Tribunal, describing the development as one that raises constitutional and governance concerns.
In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Dr Lemmy Ughegbe, the organisation said the controversy followed the reappointment of Barrister Amos Isaac Azi by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a five-year tenure.
MADI noted that Azi’s appointment was carried out in accordance with the Investment and Securities Act 2025 and had been fully implemented.
It, however, expressed concern that a subsequent statement from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation announced Barrister Aminu Junaidu as Chairman of the Tribunal.
The group said the sequence of events suggests a possible displacement of a presidential approval, raising questions about due process and institutional coherence.
MADI urged the National Assembly to exercise its oversight functions by investigating the circumstances surrounding the appointments.
