The National Assembly on Tuesday rejected Prof. Akintunde Akinwande, President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominee for Chairmanship of the Board of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission.
The Senate confirmed the nomination of six other members for the board.
The Senate dropped Akinwande due to his absence from the screening of nominees by the Senate Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy.
The committee recommended that the President present another nominee to replace Akinwande.
Those confirmed are Sanusi Garba (North-West) as Vice Chairman and Nathan Rogers Shatti (North-East), Moses Arigu (North-Central), Dafe Akpedeye (South-South), Frank Okafor (South-East) and Musiliu Oseni (South-West) as Commissioners.
