President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday urged the Senate to consider and confirm Idris Olorunnimbe as Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), with Dr Aminu Wada retaining his position as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The request was contained in Tinubu’s letter, read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary.

The letter also included the nomination of other members to the NCC Board.

They are Abraham Oshidami (Executive Commissioner, Technical Services), Rimini Makama (Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management), Maryam Bayi, Col. Abdulwahab Lawal (retd.), Lekan Mustafa, Chris Okorie, and Oforitsenere Emiko.

The President explained that the nominations were part of the administration’s efforts to reposition key communication and regulatory institutions for better service delivery.

In a similar letter, President Tinubu asked the Senate to confirmation of Dr Musa Babayo as Chairman of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Dr Aminu Yusuf as Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), and Prof. Adeniran Raymond Tella as Resident Electoral Commissioner (Oyo State) for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Also forwarded for legislative approval was the nomination of Keji Onwu as Independent Director on the Board of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), alongside nominees for the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).

After reading the letters, Akpabio referred the nominations to the relevant Senate committees for screening

It directed its committee on INEC to conclude its assignment within one week.

regenerateman:
The North is threatening to remove him from the office in 2027, there4, he has started appointing the Aminus, Ibrahims, Abdullahis, and Musas into his government. You hardly see him appointing the Emekas, Chinedus, Uches, Tamunus, Akpans, Odigies, Tekemes, Udofias and Etims into his government.

I wish we could run a governance system where the best of us regardless of tribe, religion or party affiliation are appointed to positions.

Putinofrussia:
That means we would have Yorubas than any other.

Inspirer1:
