President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sworn in two commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and six federal commissioners of the National Population Commission (NPC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The swearing-in ceremony was held on Monday at the Council Chamber of the State House shortly before President Tinubu presided over the Federal Executive Council meeting.
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 served as a liaison between the party 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 appointments followed the President’s request to the Senate for confirmation of nominees to 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).
Present at the inauguration were Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Didi Esther Walson-Jack, ministers, and senior presidential aides.
Following the ceremony, the Federal Executive Council commenced its meeting, during which ministers were expected to present memoranda on priority government policies and programmes for deliberation and approval.
