President Bola Tinubu on Monday swore in eight new federal commissioners for the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and the National Population Commission (NPC) before the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The inauguration aimed to strengthen the operations of both constitutional commissions by filling key leadership positions.

The new commissioners are:
- Kolawole Oladipupo Alabi – Ekiti State
- Nasiru Mu’azu – Zamfara State
- Isaka Alada Yahaya – Kwara State
- Prof. Sadiq Isah Radda – Katsina State
- Suleiman Umar – Jigawa State

The appointments will strengthen the commission as it continues to carry out its population management and demographic responsibilities.

The swearing-in ceremony took place shortly before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting on Monday.
The inauguration marks another step in the Tinubu administration’s effort to fill vacancies in key federal institutions and improve public sector governance.
