STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

President Tinubu nominates 4 new INEC national commissioners and 2 Resident Electoral Commissioners

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated four new national commissioners and two new resident electoral commissioners to fill vacancies at the Independent National Electoral Commission created by expiring tenures.

The Senate will scrutinise all the nominees.

However, the President reappointed Dr Bala Bila, the national commissioner representing the North East.

The new national commissioners are Professor Mustapha Aliu, who will replace Professor Abdullahi Zuru as the North West representative; and Bashir Muhammed Umar, who will replace Professor Muhammad Adamu as the North Central representative.

President Tinubu recommended Mrs Oluwatoyin Babalola, the resident electoral commissioner in Osun, as the new South West national commissioner. She will replace Professor Cornelius Ajayi, whose tenure expires on October 24.

The two new resident electoral commissioners are retired permanent secretary Dr Samuel Akinjide Akinleye, to represent Ekiti State, and Zahradden Basiru Sanusi, from Jigawa, who will replace Professor Saidu Ahmed Babura.

President Tinubu urged the Senate to expedite the nominees' confirmation in view of the forthcoming General elections next January.

Twelve Challenges That Disappeared From Nigeria Under Tinubu

ASUU Strike
Non-payment of salaries
Half salary (Hafusa)
Fuel scarcity
Crude oil theft
Niger-Delta militancy
Ogoni agitation
Economic recession
Dollar and FX scarcity
Executive/Legislative face-off
Budget padding
Boko Haram attacks on Abuja
Southern Kaduna impunity
Police station attacks and closures in the SE

Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu is making steady progress in all spheres, but the opposition and their paid propagandists in the media will Arise to project only negative things to give you the impression that it is all doom and gloom.

But Nigeria just enjoyed a 4.43% GDP growth, which is double the global average. We also have the most profitable stock market on the planet, bar none, according to Bloomberg. The inflation rate, which was hovering at 30% on May 29, 2023, has halved, and our foreign reserves are now at an 18-year high of $54 billion.

Nigeria's GDP has added $67 billion in just two years, and we have moved from being the top petrol importer in Africa in 2023 to the number one fuel exporter in West Africa in 2026. This has enabled us to overtake South Africa to become the second-largest manufacturing capacity in Africa, with Egypt only slightly ahead of us.

As of the first half of 2026, Nigeria has experienced 23 consecutive quarters of uninterrupted GDP growth, and we are poised to have the strongest gains in the Naira since 2018, according to Bloomberg.

As a result of these economic strides, the IMF listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025, a fact celebrated by Elon Musk, the world's richest man.

Much still needs to be done, and it is being done. However, progress is evident, whether it is 1 million university undergraduates enjoying the NELFUND Student Loans or the expansion of the Nigerian Army from eight to twelve Divisions. The additional 4 divisions will increase Nigerian Army personnel by 28,000 troops.

The President also plans for Nigeria to recruit between 2,000 and 5,000 forest guards per state, depending on the state's landmass.

Nigeria will not overcome her challenges overnight. But under President Tinubu, we are overwhelming our issues over time.
