President Bola Tinubu has made headlines by officially swearing in Dr. Aminu Yusuf as the new Chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC), alongside two other commissioners and five Federal Permanent Secretaries. This pivotal ceremony took place at the State House in Abuja just moments before Tinubu dove into a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, highlighting the President's commitment to shaping Nigeria's future.

Tinubu made his grand entrance at the Council Chamber at precisely 1:31 PM, where the formalities kicked off with the reading of glowing citations for his handpicked appointees. The new permanent secretaries,Abdulkarim Ibrahim, Dr. John Ezeamama, Dr. Abdul-Sule Garba, Dr. Isiaku Mohammed, and Dr. Ukaire Chigbowu,took their oaths of office at 1:42 PM, immediately signing their names in the official register. This swift transition underscores the urgency and seriousness of governance in Nigeria.

Just minutes later, at 1:47 PM, Dr. Aminu Yusuf was sworn in as the NPC Chairman, joined by two other commission members, including Dr. Tonga Betara from Yobe State. The NPC, a powerhouse in managing national censuses and demographic data, is positioned as a critical player in Nigeria's development agenda.

Following the swearing-in, the FEC meeting commenced with a poignant moment: members observed a minute of silence for the late former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Joy Ogwu, who recently passed away at the age of 79. This gesture of respect underscores the administration's acknowledgment of the contributions made by past leaders.

As the council meeting continued, discussions focused on crucial governance and policy issues, marking the eighth session of the year. The air was thick with determination as the Tinubu administration strives to tackle the complex challenges facing the nation.
