Nigerian senate begins screening
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu
Lagos - ArabToday
The Nigerian Senate on Thursday commenced a confirmation hearing on the country's anti-graft chief Ibrahim Magu.
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu said the Presidency had in July written to the Senate to seek screening and confirmation of Magu as substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Magu as acting chairman of the EFCC after the removal of Ibrahim Lamorde on Nov. 9, 2015.
Before his appointment as the acting EFCC chairman, Magu was the head of Economic Governance Unit of the commission.
Magu will be the fourth head of the anti-graft agency, after Nuhu Ribadu, Farida Waziri and Ibrahim Lamorde, if confirmed.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
