President Bola Tinubu has nominated Engr. Abdullahi Garba Ramat as the new Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
Engr Ramat, 39, is an electrical engineer and administrator, with a PhD in Strategic Management, among other qualifications.
Bayo Onanuga Special Adviser to the President (Information and Strategy) in a statement said President Tinubu also nominated two commissioners for the NERC.
They are Mr Abubakar Yusuf, Commissioner of Consumer Affairs and Dr Fouad Olayinka Animashun, Commissioner of Finance and Management Services.
All nominations are subject to Senate confirmation.
However, to avoid a leadership vacuum in the critical regulatory agency, Onanuga said, the President directed that Engr Ramat assume office in acting capacity pending his screening by the Senate, as stipulated by the law.
He said 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 Force described the claims as baseless and misleading and urged the public to disregard such falsehoods, noting that they were designed to undermine the integrity of its promotion process.
NPF also issued a stern warning to officers against lobbying or seeking to influence the promotion process through unofficial means, stressing that such actions violate ethical standards and will attract disciplinary measures under existing laws.
The Nigeria Police Force reiterated its commitment to a promotion system anchored on integrity, verifiable merit, and honourable service to the nation.
Officers are urged to remain disciplined and continue to discharge their duties with pride and distinction.
