*Two Others as Commissioners
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.
A statement issued by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga explained that the President also nominated two commissioners for NERC.
They are Mr. Abubakar Yusuf as Commissioner for Consumer Affairs and Dr. Fouad Olayinka Animashun as Commissioner for Finance and Management Services.
According to the statement, all nominations are subject to Senate confirmation.
“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 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,” it added.
