Senate can right the wrongs in IST —Sacked chair
TRACKING____Former Chairman of Investments and Securities (IST) Tribunal, Siaka Isaiah Idoko-Ako has urged the Senate Committee on Capital Market to reposition the capital market by righting the wrongs in the tribunal, so that investors would gain more confidence to participate.

“My appointment was for the tenure of five years, subject to renewal for another term of five years …”
