Tinubu Swears In Prof. Joash Amupitan to Chair INEC
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 brief swearing-in ceremony took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during a meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC). Key officials present included Vice President Kashim Shettima, state governors, and other council members.
Professor Amupitan’s assumption of office follows the completion of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s tenure as the head of the electoral body.
President Tinubu announced Prof. Amupitan’s appointment on October 9. His nomination was subsequently approved by the National Council of State and confirmed by the Senate last Thursday following a screening session.
