Tinubu Swears In Two RMAFC, Six NPC Commissioners
President Bola Tinubu on Monday swore in two commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and six federal commissioners of the National Population Commission (NPC).
The inauguration ceremony was held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by the President.
The appointments come months after President Tinubu forwarded the names of nominees for key federal agencies, including the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), National Population Commission (NPC), Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), and the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), to the Senate for confirmation.
The newly inaugurated RMAFC commissioners are Hajiya Amina Ibrahim Gamawa, representing Bauchi State, and Abdullahi Mukhtar, representing Kaduna State.
Before her appointment, Gamawa served as Deputy Director of Administration (Presidential Liaison) at the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC), where she coordinated administrative activities and maintained liaison between the party leadership and the Presidency.
President Tinubu also administered the oath of office to six federal commissioners of the National Population Commission. They are Kolawole Oladipupo Alabi (Ekiti), Nasiru Mu’azu (Zamfara), Isaka Alada Yahaya (Kwara), Sadiq Isah Radda (Katsina), Suleiman Umar (Jigawa), and Chiso Abdullahi Dattijo (Sokoto).
The ceremony was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack; cabinet ministers; and other senior presidential aides.
Following the swearing-in ceremony, the Federal Executive Council meeting commenced, with ministers expected to present memoranda on priority government policies and programmes for deliberation and approval.
