President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially administered the oath of office to newly appointed officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) during a brief ceremony at the State House in Abuja.
The swearing-in took place just before the commencement of the ongoing meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
The individuals sworn in as INEC National Commissioners include Mallam Tukur Abdulrazaq Yusuf, representing the North West, and Professor Sunday Nwambam Aja, representing Ebonyi State in the South East region.
Additionally, two new appointees were inducted into the Code of Conduct Bureau. They are Ikpeme Kenneth Ndem from Cross River State and retired Justice Buba Ibrahim Nyaure from Taraba State.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu is currently chairing the sixth FEC meeting of the year.
Among those in attendance at the session are key Government figures, such as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila; and National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
Also present are the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, along with other senior officials.
It is worth noting that the previous FEC meeting held on May 5 saw the approval of the ‘Nigeria First’ Economic Policy, which seeks to promote the procurement and use of domestically made goods and services in all Government transactions.
