President Bola Tinubu on Thursday formally swore in Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during a meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC), which was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, state governors, and other council members.
Prof. Amupitan’s appointment, announced by President Tinubu on October 9, follows the completion of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s tenure as INEC Chairman. His nomination was subsequently approved by the National Council of State and confirmed by the Senate after a screening held last Thursday.
