Tinubu seeks Senate confirmation of NERC chairman

President Bola Tinubu has forwarded 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.

The letter was read during the resumption of plenary on Tuesday by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

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.

Choose competence, stay accountable to Nigerians, Akpabio tells senators
However, the upper chamber shifted its resumption from September 23 to October 7, 2025, extending its annual recess by two weeks.
