President Tinubu Swears In Two Commissioners For NPC

President Bola Tinubu has officially sworn in two commissioners from Ogun and Osun States to serve as members of the National Population Commission (NPC).

Naija News reports that the swearing-in ceremony took place in the Council Chamber on Monday just before the Federal Executive Council meeting commenced.

During the brief ceremony, the commissioners, Hon. Fasuwa Johnson from Ogun State and Hon. Amidu Raheem from Osun State, had their citations read and took the oath of allegiance.

The Vice President, Kassim Shettima, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, as well as cabinet ministers and other government officials, were present to witness the event.

This appointment comes after a successful 2-day management retreat held by the NPC in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom state, last week.

The NPC plays a crucial role as the primary data mining commission in Nigeria, responsible for collecting, collating, analyzing, and publishing data about the Nigerian people and economy.
