President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan as the new substantive Chairman of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Nigerian Senate confirmed Professor Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday last week.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, October 24, a week after the Senate confirmed Amupitan’s appointment on October 16.
During the swearing-in ceremony, President Tinubu charged the new INEC boss to protect the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process and strengthen the institution’s capacity to deliver credible elections.
Amupitan takes over from Prof. Yakubu Mahmood who served for two term of ten years total.
