Kano Group Storms National Assembly, Urges Senate to Confirm Ramat Abdullahi as NERC Chairman
A Kano-based advocacy group, Grassroots Initiative Concept, has called on the Senate to urgently confirm Ramat Abdullahi’s nomination as Executive Chairman/CEO of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). The group praised Abdullahi’s record of integrity, competence, and public service, emphasizing his alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda. The open letter to President Tinubu and Senate leadership expressed concern over delays in Abdullahi’s confirmation, alleging vested interests aim to stall it. The group lauded Abdullahi’s decade-long experience in government and private sector and urged the Senate to “stand on the side of fairness, patriotism, and progress.” Confirming Abdullahi, they argued, would strengthen Nigeria’s electricity sector and set a precedent for institutional integrity. The group reaffirmed support for President Tinubu’s nomination and called on the Senate to prioritize justice and national interest in the energy sector.
