Tinubuseeks Senate confirmation for INEC commissioner and NAHCON chairman
President Tinubu has formally requested the Senate to confirm two key appointments: Retired Adm. Jamila Abubakar as National Commissioner for Adamawa at INEC, and Amb. Ismail Yusuf as Chairman of NAHCON. The President's letters, read at Senate plenary on Tuesday, cite constitutional provisions (Section 154 of the 1999 Constitution as amended for INEC, and Section 3(2) of the NAHCON Act 2026 for Hajj commission). Senate President Godswill Akpabio has referred both requests to relevant committees (INEC and Rules & Business) for legislative input, with a one-week deadline for committee reports. These confirmations are critical for electoral oversight and Hajj pilgrimage management.
