President Buhari thanks all members of the dissolved panel for their services, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President, (Media & Publicity), said in a statement on Tuesday.
The President looks forward to receiving the final Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) report on the ongoing investigations of the dissolved panel’s Chairman.
