President Bola Tinubu has nominated Abdullahi Garba Ramat as the new Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC.
In a statement issued by the presidential spokesperson on
Thursday, Ramat, aged 39, is described as an electrical engineer and
administrator, holding a PhD in strategic management, among other
qualifications.
President Tinubu also nominated two individuals to serve as
commissioners on the NERC board. The nominees are Mr Abubakar Yusuf,
Commissioner for Consumer Affairs, and Dr Fouad Olayinka Animashun,
Commissioner for Finance and Management Services.
The presidency noted that all nominations are subject to
confirmation by the Senate.
“However, to avoid a leadership vacuum in the critical
regulatory agency, the President directed that Engr. Ramat assume office in an
acting capacity pending his screening by the Senate, as stipulated by the law.
“President Tinubu urged the new appointees to use their
knowledge and experience to discharge their functions and work assiduously to
advance the administration’s power sector vision,” the statement reads.
Ramat replaces Sanusi Garba as Chairman of NERC.
