Tinubu writes Senate, seeks confirmation of new NERC chair

Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written a letter to the Senate, seeking the confirmation of Engr. Abdullahi Ramat as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio conveyed president’s letter to the Senate during the resumption of plenary on Tuesday.

It would be recalled that the Senate had gone on its annual recess on July 24, a tradition that allows lawmakers to combine legislative work with constituency duties and personal engagements.

However, the upper chamber shifted its resumption from September 23 to October 7, 2025, extending its annual recess by two weeks.
