The Nigerian Senate has confirmed the appointments of 21 federal commissioners for the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) on Wednesday. This confirmation follows the nomination of these individuals by President Bola Tinubu in August, with the Senate subsequently asked to approve their appointments.
The confirmation process was led by Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, who represents Kebbi North and serves as the chair of the joint committee on national planning, economic affairs, and finance.
